I fished at Lake Side Lodge today because of a ground blizzard at Henry's . No water on the ice . Fishing was slow . I fished with Groungtrac to day and he did better than me . Had a lot of fun It was nice meeting him .

Good to meet you too Curt! Was the highlight of my day. Wish the fishing was a little better, but there's always next time.

Yeah I had a little run in with the blizzard at Henry's myself. We headed over to island park and fished just out from the dam to try and salvage the trip. Caught a lot of 6" tiny fish. Stayed hoping some big guns would be drawn in by the small. Turns out it worked! Caught the fish below in 16 fow. I knew it felt good but I about had a heart attack when I saw it through the whole for the first time. Got it's head up in the whole and one finger under the gill plate and the line snapped and between my buddy and I we barely saved it with a couple wet sleeves. Who would have thought we'd be glad that we got blown out of Henry's? [cool] Such an amazing day. Definitely worth the drive. Also ended up with a few 14-16" bows between the three of us.

Well done Fishfighter! That one IS worth getting up to your elbows in ice water for.
I was at Henrys Wed. morning over at County. Caught 10 and missed a few others between 7:30 and 1:00. Packed up at 1 and headed for Island Park to try for some Kokes. Talked to a guy at the dam boat launch for over an hour. He only had to bites while I was there. So I went over right about where you were. Caught 8 and missed a few in less than an hour. Had fish on 2 lines at once twice. All rainbows. The biggest was 19" weighing 3 lbs. 6 oz. Nice fish, but no competition to your catch. No Kokes....one of these days I'll find one.
