When we fished that lake years ago it was choked with trout. It was amazing fishing and the the salamanders were everywhere. It was one of my favorite lakes. It was also one of the clearest lakes I have ever seen. You could seet 10-20 feet to the bottom and count literally hundreds of salamanders. To Bad it now has squafish....especially if they are fish eating machines. Sounds like the could devistate a lake that size.
