Stocking at Alice Lake has been reduced to avoid native trout population being out-competed. "The Master" Nick and I were discussing that today actually. Catchable rainbow trout cost $3 each, the most expensive to raise. Putting 800 into Edith and 500 into Alice seems quite excessive if they are not heavily used. I sure wasn't complaining while we were up there on Tuesday. ;D

The hike from Alice to Edith is pretty short. I mentioned 20 minutes earlier, but was being quite conservative. I think it only took us 10 minutes, maybe 15. Halfway through the hike, it becomes quite steep but you can walk up comfortably. It's not like Grouse Grind steep with steps. It is a well maintained trail, fairly wide. Carrying a float tube up is definitely doable, just have to take it easy.

Like Dereke said, always take precautions. That's why I always bring someone who runs slower than me. ;)

I may walk slower than you, but it'd be a pretty close race if a bear was chasing us!   Plus, I'm not the one with my hands full of gear...  ;D

Here are a couple more pictures from Alice Lake!  (I know I need to work on getting nicer landscape shots, but I'm not sure why you double-posted that mediocre one of the lake?  Unfortunately that was the best of the lot.)

Rod does all the work while I play with my camera.  Teehee!


Yet another of Rod's many catches:


I wish I had brought a polarizer since there were so many of these teeny tiny ones swimming about us!


Beware the trees!  There were 4 stuck in this tree and another 6 in the tree to the right of our fishing spot.


I must've gotten my line in the surrounding trees 20-30 times... but somehow managed to get free everytime.  Heehee!  (I only lost a hook in the water when I got caught on a log.)  I can only imagine how many times Rod must've been laughing inwardly at my bumbling casts!
