Max, eagle nest lake sits at 8k ft and is fed with snow melt. That area sees winter temps in the -30s and -40s for weeks at a time. That lake never gets warm enough to see any use other than fishing. And it's deep around the dam.

My 8yo son caught this. It was the biggest redear sunfish I've ever seen. We threw it back before weighing it. Might have been the new state record. He at least got a master angler award for it.

I have always heard Great Lakes salmon and steelhead fishing is pretty impressive. I took my three year old out trolling for coho yesterday. It's incredible that she will get up at 4am and drive an hour each way, plus troll for seven hours and still behave and follow directions! It's pretty special for both of us, this is the first season I have taken her.
