Post-eruption Uber-trout of Spirit Lake, Mt St Helens

The rainbow trout grow 3-5 times larger, 3-5 faster than trout elsewhere nearby but only live 3-5 times as long.

Log-inundated lake: Hemlock and True Firs have sunk; Doug Firs and Cedar remained floating at least 27 years after the eruption. Spirit Lake no longer freezes.
