You can fish in the mountains. Melting snowcaps is how rivers/waterfalls etc are made. Problem here is that there's no river coming off those mountains.
Well, were I come from (northern Italy, just south of Austria) it's quite common. Fisher's villages in the mountains are well documented since the Bronze Age (Ledro, for example, but there are others)

Sure, and there are a lot in the mountains 'round here. Ledro's lake is not even the biggest, maybe is in the top 10 but I'm not sure about that. Your question was about fishing as main source of food, anyway, and it is well documented at least in this area, but I'm quite confident that other areas with mountain lakes have developed a similar economy
