[pct-l] Sierra Fishing Hot Spots

[scourtway@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Courtway)]

don't feel bad monte, as a boy scout ca. '79 hiking the PCT
vic. glacier peak in Washington, one of the leaders along
with us would take off early in the morning and return
with a stringer - no less than 2 - 3 dozen trout, enough to feed our entire
troop.  I often shudder when thinking of this slaughter hahaha.
