    Kind of surprised there are fish and fish of size in that high lake. A high laker guru once told me the key in high lakes, at least in the Cascades, is vegetation around and right down to the shoreline. The more vegetation, the more insects. General rule, no vegetation, no fish. Good video and realistic that we all have off days. Keep 'em coming.

    • @TroutHowler

      @TroutHowler 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@4stringmanagmaildcom There are several examples in the Winds and a few in the Beartoothes. There's also a couple in High Uintas. It's true that the majority of lakes that kick out bigger fish tend be at a lower elevation where a lot of vegetation exists However, a lot of that has to do with the fact that those lakes freeze later and thaw earlier than higher elevation lakes. Photosynthesis occurs in the shallows for a longer duration which means more biomass--usually. There's a lot of other factors that play into it like the pH etc. One of my favorite trophy alpine lakes is above 11,000 feet with zero vegetation. The lake has a massive fairy shrimp population and kicks out some mega fatties.

    I enjoyed that. I've had days when just being there was enough. I spent some time up in the Selway in Idaho. The alpine lakes usually didn't have any fish because they froze top to bottom in the winter. But, they sure were beautiful. As to the float; There sure was some beautiful water you flew through. That is the trouble for me when on a guided float trip. I want to stop and dredge all those great pools, and we just keep on zooming down. Frantically slinging at the scenery as it goes by. Like I said to begin with; I enjoyed that.

    Don’t mind a fish less video at all. Lord knows I’ve had more than my share. Surprising that trout in an Alpine lake would hit a woolybugger but I’ve had success doing exactly that. One wouldn’t expect leeches or forage fish to be present but I guess cutthroat aren’t the most selective of game fish. I enjoyed the video even if you didn’t bring huge numbers to the net.

    An underwater camera helps with pictures when you leave the fish in the water and a Ketchum Release type device helps to release the fish without ever touching it.
