The upper end of the Lamar was one fisherman after another. We didn't

was a disaster. The water was so low there were 3-4" deep riffles a
half a mile
long, with all the fish concentrated into the few deep spots left. And
each deep hole
had two or more fisherman already there. We saw one nice 20" cutthroat
dead
and belly up in shallow water, cartwheeling down a riffle.

This fish transpired due to old age or what?

Heart attack. It probably heard that there were meat fishermen in the
area.

Actually, it was above the legal slot limit. Useless. Just competes with
fish that might be kept. Had to be killed.
