ok first E-lake.. e-lake is open to any and all boats as long as you can get it in the water..the lake is going down again abour 6" a day now so the hole in the bottom still might be there.. darn it!! i was there 2 days ago and fish was great the cutt's have some size to them ave about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs with some in the 3 lbs class.. if you have a boat i would try trolling a rapala in trout colors or white and black..flatfish in silver or white and red work realy good as well.. but the best thing i have found there is a #3 colorado spiner with a minnow about 18" behind it..rig it like a popgear and worm but use a minnow insted.. if you want to bait fish with the minnows then i would first try a 1/4 oz jig and put a minnow on and drop it to the bottom and drift it about a foot or two up off the bottom.. there is alot of snages on the bottom right now becaus the water has came up so much this year that all the brush and grass that was there last year is still there on the bottom... try shalow and deep to find out where the fish are hanging out..some times thay move in to feed if you see the shiners start going nut's by the shour then throw in near where you seen them and you will get hit every time!!!
huntington can be great this time of year from a boat.. if you drive down by the dam you can get the boat in very easy only about 5 to 10 feet from the lake. trolling with zipfish or flatfish in silver or white with red spots can be deadly on them tigers.. alot of guy's are useing popgear and worm and getting some as well but i hate pulling that stuff if i dont have to.. the flatfish will keep you busy on fish all day anyway..
good luck to ya up there..
