No, it the lake that was the surprise, it was where on the lake Vic chose to wet a line: Off the top of the dam. hich during the full-pool sum- er recreation season is a relatively hort drop to the water, but which uring the winter draw-down is omething like fishing off of the enthouse parapet on a six-story building.

Still hard to argue with success, and he scored three bright holdover rainbow trout that checked in like identical triplets at about 14 inches each. It end there. technique as well as his bait were interesting, to say the least. He used a Carolina rig, a setup involving leader with beads, a swivel and a weight above the swivel. a setup that will have knowledgeable ass anglers nodding their heads, and most trout anglers scratching theirs.

You can see what one looks like online at stjr.nl/Carolina_rig. Vic said he tossed it out, then did a slow retrieve and boom. The capper is he used a pink shrimp, you know, a salad shrimp, for bait. And best of all, he said, was nobody else Go figure. Aword of advice, though, for those wanting to give this opportunity a try.

Check the wind velocity and direction, or you could end up dining on salad shrimp with a side of lead and steel.

TIDE TABLES YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL In the last couple years, Peter Cervelli, who monitors the Yellowstone volcano, saw a major eruption of the world's argest geyser, an uplift of the orris Geyser Basin and the argest earthquake in the park in 30 years. While those were all noteworthy events, they're not indications that the Yellowstone uper volcano is about to erupt, aid Cervelli, associate director or science and technology at the USGS Volcano Science Center in Menlo Park, Calif. But that hasn't stopped the general ublic from speculating. ervelli has spent his career esearching geophysics and monitoring volcanoes, first in Hawaii, then Alaska and now based in California, studying ellowstone. During that time, ne of the major changes he's een, in addition to the changes in technology and monitoring systems, has been the way information, or misinformation, travels.

"There's sort of a disconnect etween the way we scientists see things and the way some of the public sees it," he said. The USGS Volcano Science Center gets an average of five mails a week from members of the general public who are worried about a Yellowstone ruption, he said. He also sees bad information travel on social edia. A fter the 4.8-magnitude earthquake in late March, the argest in 30 years, a video went viral of bison running down a road inside the park. The story that somehow got attached to the video was that he bison were running out of the park, fleeing the impending eruption they could somehow ense.

In reality, the bison were running into the park. Bison are a common sight in he park and often can be seen running, Al Nash, spokesman or Yellowstone National Park, said at the time. That didn't stop the video rom getting 500,000 views. While the video got a lot of a ttention, the scientific story ehind that earthquake is even more interesting. tarting in late summer 2013, scientists started noticing that the Norris Geyser basin was rising.

By November, the uplift began to pick up speed. ver five months, the area rose 6 to 7 centimeters and moved southeast. It's not an extreme uplift rate," Cervelli said. "For Yellowstone it was at the high end of ormal." Then on March 30, the 4.8 arthquake occurred, and suddenly the uplift at Norris stopped. Then the area started sink, and before long, everything was back where it started.

cientists think gases deep elow the earth's surface rose up through the crust and then et an impenetrable barrier and couldn't go anywhere. Pressure started to build and lead to a deformation on the earth's urface. "The earthquake essentially let off the steam," Cervelli said. he earthquake likely created a fracture that allowed the pressurized gases to be re- eased. "In an ideal world we probably could have seen them or etected them," Cervelli said.

owever, the park is a big lace and the USGS doesn't have gas monitoring equipment to cover all of it. "We do have a lot of instru- ents but we also have a lot of ark," he said. A round the time the uplift began at Norris, Steamboat Geyser, the tallest geyser in the world, erupted. That geyser, located in the Norris Geyser asin, doesn't go off very fre- uently or consistently. At the time I was pretty excited about this," Cervelli said.

He was hoping the geyser ruption and the uplift were inked and would help scientists etter understand the dynamics of the geyser basin. "It turns out that probably was a coincidence," he said. owever, he hopes he and is colleagues still can learn ore from the uplift event. Uplift is fairly common in the park but typically occurs inside the caldera, which Cervelli said formed 640,000 years ago. Norris sits outside the caldera.

plift also usually occurs over alonger timeframe and affects abigger area, unlike the Norris uplift. "It was short, intense and ocated at Norris," Cervelli said. And it may help scientists better understand the interplay etween the caldera and Norris. hat scientists already now is episodes of ground deformation are common and not imply that an eruption is pending. It's extremely unlikely that a super eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will occur in this ifetime.

In fact, if you want something to worry about, Cervelli suggests worrying about a ajor meteor hitting the Earth.
