Photograph of Mary A. West posing with fish in the campsite at Silver Lake while Irene Schmitz sits in the background. Mary A. West stands at center in camp and looks to the camera. She holds fish by the gills, one in each hand, as she poses. Behind her, a tarp stretched between tree trunks hangs over a table (obscured by Mary). Irene Schmitz sits at a smaller table behind Mary and beneath the tarp. A hammock stretches behind her and a tire rests against tree trunks to the right of her. Trees stand in the background.
