[cool][#0000ff]There are several "primitive" sites around the lake where you can camp...at no fee...on a first come first served basis. But, it is seldom overrun with campers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Here are some pics showing the lake under different water conditions. At high water you can park close and launching is easy. However, the lake never did top out this year and is probably pretty low. That means a pretty good trek down the mud banks to get launched.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There are two main areas where you can park and launch. One is right at the dam...at the NE corner of the lake. The other is right about midlake, down off the road on a turnout. Both will require some transporting to get the boat to the water. No ramp anywhere.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Welcome to the board and good luck at Huntington. Best fishing this time of year is usually in about 30 feet of water, near the dam. You should have good sonar, to help locate the fish. Sometimes they will be near the bottom but other times they will be suspended.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Use small jigs or just plain jig heads...tipped with crawlers or small minnows. Tigers are meat eaters. But, if you are a fly flinger you can sometimes get some good action on small dark patterns. The smaller fish will be working the top, but the bigguns are usually deeper. Trolling can sometimes be effective but vertical jigging with lures and/or bait is a better bet on most trips.[/#0000ff]
