  10. Almost every time I visit here, IO find myself clicking on a photo to get a closer look. I really studied this one and all I can say is: Wow! That fish is really something. I wonder why it shaped like that and what the purpose of the yellow color is?

    Happy WW!

  19. I'm always so awed by your underwater work. (And yeah, a little envious.)

    Magnificent as always!

    To answer your question, I really don't know what kinds of fish you can catch there, but I'd guess lake trout and possibly bass of some variety figure prominently. I believe both are probably stocked in both lakes.
