Tight to see a real feeding frenzy, I always hear about them but have never seen one.
Looks like a hoot!
Tell me you threw into that.
There's a lake out of Tuolumne that we used to hit every year that was actually MORE ridiculous than that. The water literally looked like it was boiling and it was stupid fun.
That being said, I need to find Chainsaw Willie's lake!
The lower Henry's Fork can go off bigger than that in the spring when there is a carpet hatch and dark, overcast skies. Big fish, too. There's thousands of fish "per mile" but, in reality, the fish get stacked in the holes at low flow and there can be hundreds of big trout and whities busting the surface all around you and it seems like you cannot spook them. Only happens a few days a year and only lasts a couple hours when it does. A truly insane spectacle if you ever see it and its more luck than timing if you do.
We ate well that night.Quote:

Stuff thrown in.....but nothing wrong with that, just as long as it isn't live invasive crap.
