OK. I've read on here about different strange events happening in the wilds, but never had anything happen to me... Before a couple of weekends ago. My brother and I went for a little backpacking fishing trip into the Warner Mtns. In NE California. The first evening was uneventful with a few fish caught but nothing great. The next day we fished all day and saw several other people come up for a day of fishing and hiking. The lake was only a little hike from the road so we figured we would see people. Then that evening when everyone else had gone and right at dusk (you couldn't see very well at all) we heard a big splash around the bend but not to far from our camp. Probably about 30-40 yards. I thought it was just a rock that had come loose from the hillside. Then a couple of minutes later another splash across the lake. It sounded like someone was throwing large rocks into the lake. We thought maybe someone was still out there and was trying to mess with us. For the next half hour about six different times what sounded like rocks being thrown were making there way around the lake closer to us with each splash. Kind of freaked us out. It was pitch black by the time the last one was heard and we never did hear anything that sounded like someone was walking through the brush on the lakeshore. Any one ever heard a large trout make that kind of noise? Would like to hear some ideas out there about what this was.
