Who Fished Out My Honey-hole?

[treeplanter]

There is a beauty little hike-in lake I try to get to every few years.

After leaving the official trail I have to bushwack for awhile before hooking up with

a faint game trail to reach the lake. So this year I see someone else has found the lake

and they have left a line of flagging (which I took down btw). When I reach the lake

there is almost no sign of fish, which is unusual as the fishing is usually fast and furious

for small cutts. So I'm thinking "who fished out my honey hole lake ?".

Then the culprit shows herself:

I'm blown away, this headwater lake is at 6500 ft. elevation. I've seen plenty of otters

in the B.C. interior, but never up this high.

That's crazy... An otter at 6500ft high mountain lake. Thanks for sharing.

I have no idea what is normal for an otter but the look on your face was probably priceless.

i wanted to make a smart ass remark but seeing as how its an otter...i got nothing

That is an unusual elevation for an otter. But where there's a will there's a way, nature always surprises me. Thanks for posting.

odd for an otter to mark a trail with flagging ribbons...
