Native trout planted in unnamed Mission range lake
St Ignatine September 4 a small party from St Ignatius ventured into the mountains to plant native trout in Sinialmin Lake at 7000 feet. The basin sits at the head of Mission creek’s south fork and is framed by a cliff wall, emerald meadows, and multiple waterfalls. After a seven mile trek over a rough trail they carried 3000 trout from the state hatchery and provisions for the day, hoping for future sport for fishermen. The lake, half a mile long and a quarter mile wide, had no prior name and was christened Sinialmin Lake by A W Nelson.
