Banff Backcountry Hiking And Fishing Trip Pt 2

We ended day 1 with some fishing at Egypt Lake for little brookies and cutties. We fished until dark, and it never got to "a fish every cast" like troutlover promised. We were starting to doubt his veracity about how good the fishing would be. Those doubts were soon erased......

Day 2 dawned after too little sleep on a piece of plywood and a too thin bedroll. But the excitement soon overtook the tired, and after a quick breakfast, we headed up to Lake Scarab:

From Scarab, we hiked down the short stream to the waterfall above Egypt. Spectacular view!

Biggy trying to get close enough to a bunch of cutts to get a good picture. We tried to fish for them, but they were super spooky.

After Scarab, we then took of on an uphill grind to the fishing lake. Here is dfb and troutlover climbing a small cliff
