Amethyst and Osler Lakes
Probably about three weeks ago, my wife and I backpacked into Amethyst and Osler Lakes. Beautiful basin with tons of camping spots. The hike in isn't too bad, the first 2.5 miles is fairly flat, and then there is about 1/2 mile that is a pretty good climb, and the rest of the hike is just a gradual climb. We seen quite a few day hikers come in and out. We left on a Friday and came out on the following Monday. The weather was wonderful, it was overcast most of the days, and only a few sprinkles here and there. On saturday we went up to Amethyst and enjoyed the day catching small fish (8" to 10" max). On Sunday we made our way over to Ostler, quite a nice lake, not as big or pretty and Amethyst, but nice in its own way. The south west side of the lake is the deepest and holds some real nice fish. Not too many people must know about Ostler, everyone heads right up to Amethyst and passes Ostler right by. Anyhow, it was a great little getaway for the wifey and I. Much needed R&R!!!!!
Don't mind the Date Stamp on the Picts, I'm a Dipstick.

Thanks for the pics.
Isn't this near the East Fork of the Bear? Or am I thinking of another lake besides Allsop?

It looks like you may have been using Jake's lures?
