John & I rowed across the lake to climb the mountains looking for sheep. John had his telephoto lens to get as many sheep as possible- Had very good luck along with some very good shots. Pete & Charlie not back yet when we arrived at camp at 1600. We walked along the fans looking for microtus. I had already caught one just outside the cook house. Not sure as to species. Bob Murphey came in at this time. He decided to stay the night here. Charlie, John & I went fishing again at Lake Salvador, north of Lake Peters. Caught two fish, one a 30" lake trout I caught. Biggest fish dinner caught in fresh water! Charlie caught another microtus there at Lake Salvador. Our line traps this morning had been set off by squirrels.
