this time,
i'd suggest taking a float tube along though.

Good plan. From the photos I've seen and from the topographic maps of
Fawn Lake, it appears to be spring-fed, very much like a productive
brook trout lake near Stanley, Idaho that I like to fish. The risers are
probably small fish. The big ones will be found deep in the vicinity of
the spring, for which you need a float tube and a sinking line. It's
boring fishing, but the tug of a big brookie makes it all worth it.

The next time I'm in Yellowstone I intend to check out Fawn Lake.

the only one being "pertinacious" about the lake is you...but, then, we
both know you're wrong...which, all things considered, i regret to admit
openly, is pretty satisfying.

It's called Shadenfreude, Jeff, and it's one of the most satisfying
emotions in the human repertoire. No need for regrets.
