Chesterfield results? - iliketofish - 01-25-2009
So how did everyone do? I ended up catching 14 fish. 19 was my biggest (not big enough for any money [frown]). It was my first time fishing there. I was very impressed with the fish, big footballs, and they were biting well especially for all the pressure that day.

Between the two of us we caught around 35 fish 5 or 6 in the 18 to 19.5 range, they got progressively smaller as the day went on but we caught fish all day, it was fun.

Good day at the lake. There were about 10 people in our group and it was non stop action all day. I was in 3rd for a couple of hours with a 20 incher but that did not last long. It did not seem like there was the total amount of people there? Good time anyway.

My friend and I also came up to try our luck at the derby. I was was very impressed with Chesterfield rainbows. The action was red hot throughout the day although the biggest fish we caught were around 17". The raffle was a little dissapointing though. It took awhile to hike back across the lake on foot and by the time we got back to the measuring station at around 3:20 the raffle was almost over [
]. They had stated in the derby rules and regulations that the raffle drawing wouldn't start until 4:00! I'd also heard that some guy walking around had changed the time to 3:30, but that's still 15 minutes later then they actually started. Oh well, in spite of the raffle, it was still a fun event, fast fishing, and decent weather. I will definitely come back next year to try and catch one of those elusive 24 inchers.[fishon]

If I heard right they said 116 people were in it. 150 signed up so less entry fees made the winning pot a hundred bucks or so less guess people looked out in the morning and bagged it. We had 4 in our group and had a blast didn't win but we had fun.

I guess there were hotspots and some not-so-hotspots. My wife and I only caught 6 or 7 between us all day with our biggest being about 18 inches. Here are a couple of pics from the tournament if anyone cares. The first one is the first place fish next to my foot. The third one is the 3rd place fish.

Define clear. It was easily passable in a 2WD on Saturday but parts of it was snow covered. Can't say what happened since.
