Fished Huntington on the 29th of Sept. Sorry about the late post.
First of all I wish to thank Fuzzyfisher from Mt. Pleasant for the tackle tips. You made my day. I had fished Huntington several times in the summer and through the ice and I had never pulled anything out larger than 13-14 inches.
I launched my canoe w/ electric trolling motor just as the sun was hitting the tops of the trees, still kind of shadowy n' dark. I wasnt even on the water 5 minutes before I had my first of many 16 - 17 inch Tiger Trout on the line. What a fabulous day!!
I started the day off alone and was the only one at the lake for an hour or so. I was so excited about catching the big fish and so many of them that I was bummed that no one else was there to share it with me!!
Later that morning I noticed a gentleman on the shore fishing alone....so I pulled up to him, tossed him in the canoe and we had an absolute ball catching great numbers of Tiger Trout. Fishing really is a lot more fun when you have someone there to share it with...even if it is a total stranger.
Anyway, here are a few pics of some of our best ones. I was kind of bummed for a while.....I had not checked the catch & release record this year and supposed that it still stood at right around 17 1/2 inches. When I caught my 18 incher I had thought it to be a new catch & release record. Boy was I bummed to see that the new record of 20 inches was set this past summer. I guess that is why I am going back again this Monday!!!!
I must add that even if I had not caught a darn thing all day long the drive, the scenery, and the fall colors was well worth the drive from Davis County. Loved it.
Here are a few photos - Don't know what was best, the fishing or the scenery behind us!! FISHING!!
