IMG_7082.JPG2 viewsAfter reading a story about a fly fisherman who, not expecting to find any trout up here, left his rod at camp far below, only to see some of the biggest trout of the entire trip swimming hungrily around the lake, I came prepared. Recently, a friend told me he had caught several large trout here. Other accounts told of guides icing up in the fall chill. I saw no trout here, but got did get spectacular views.

IMG_7084.JPG2 viewsPerhaps I wrongly assumed that because I could not see trout swimming in the amazingly deep, clear water, they simply were not there. Now I regret not having made a few casts.
