Is this Silver Lake in Los Angeles proper, or another Silver Lake up in the mountains somewhere?

Graybeard's post which seems on target. The coveralls worn by the photo's subject are reminiscent of a flying suit. Same with possible headgear and goggles. Garb could also be for warm-weather skiing, but Wallace was known for taking to the sky in his own planes.

Wonder if photo wasn't part of a publicity campaign? Good workout when the boat is tethered.

Wallace, had an older look-alike brother, Noah. Noah apparently had a "trout club" somewhere north of LA toward Saugus. See "A-4" on map.

And of course, how can one mention Noah, without mentioning Noah Jr?
