Many years ago I read an article in an outdoors
magazine about a lamprey attack . These people had
landed on an isolated lake -in the north woods I
think-with a seaplane . They planned to fish in a
rubber raft . A brightly colored raft . To make the
story short ...lampreys attached to the raft ,sank it,
the people swam for shore and were themselves attacked
by lampreys . I think at least one of the people did
not make it to shore .Somehow the lamprey population
in this lake had exploded .This was at least 30 years
ago .Cant rally remember the details or name of
magazine . Any geezers remember the story ?
