    Too many Trout.

    Yes, in mountain lakes there is such a thing.

    ...Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

    Tight to see a real feeding frenzy, I always hear about them but have never seen one.

    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!
    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.

    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.

    Thing is, the lake is overpopulated so they're all fairly small. It's Tungsten Lake in the Pasayten Wilderness - about 16 mi. from the nearest trailhead. It could stand to be fished harder, you can't really fish out a lake with a reproducing population but if you can cut the numbers down some the remaining fish will grow larger.
