Bassmaster-ND: "Fishing on a lake with no one else on the lake" brings back memories, ancient memories. Before my knee replacements I used to hike 5 -10 miles to the upper lakes of the Eastern Sierras. There were no anglers on the lakes for all the time I spent on the excursion. It's still like that a little bit but not like it was in the late 1940's. But around here locally (Southern California) we have many lakes that you "pay to play" Even though I would love to see some of the primitive features come back I know that's impossible in todays modern times. Besides they plant giant trout in these lakes which eases the pain somewhat. One guy last week caught two 17 pound rainbows.
