Fishing at Fish Lake (no, not that Fish Lake)
Some of you may know of the Fish Lake that's about a five mile hike from the Smith Morehouse road. This is where I fished on Saturday. I will eventually have some photos posted, but I need to get them developed first. Anyway the main fish here is grayling and they bite like crazy. According the the guy who has been there numerous times, they always do. Three of the guys there caught probably 50 fish each--many times they caught two fish at once. Personally, I only caught seven, but I was having a lot of trouble with my reel and had to stop numerous times--finally I had to quit about an hour and a half before the others because of too much reel trouble.
Anyway, it's a steep rocky hike and the only place I've ever caught fish that fast and easily. I ate a couple of the fish, but didn't have the proper cooking or eating utensils with me and found it hard to separate the meat from the bones (cooked on a rock, dangled from my stringer, eaten with my fingers). I wonder how the cavemen did it.
