Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 Fished Saturday and Sunday and caught fish sitting still and trolling . The best bait fishing was at south goose island . Average size 2.5 to 3 pounds . Curt G.

[signature] Re: [MMDon] Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 Yes it did and it should only get better . Curt G. [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - mikkfin80 - 06-06-2011 Thanks for the report. I really need to get over there and try the resevoir. I have ice fished it in the winter over by lake side lodge and the dam and done o.k. You ever do any good at either of those places in your boat? It would be nice to have another place to fish when henrys is slow. I was there this weekend and we didn't catch too many but we caught a couple big ones. I will post when I get the pictures off the camera. [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - fishonlynch - 06-06-2011 We fished it on wednesday june 1st. Only caught a few small fish trolling. They don't have all the shallow water marked. Luckily we were only trolling & had drive unit up. 2 ft of water out in middle of channel. Man , there are some big homes on this lake.

Maybe a weekend of boat camping is in order as soon as the summer weather patterns set in!

They plant 200,00 a year . This weekend most people were trolling in the channel on the main lake out front of Trudes bay . We caught fish on Rapalas and Spoons . Curt G. [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - MMDon - 06-06-2011 I grew up in Pinehaven so running over green canyon was a weekly pass time for us. I love fishing the west end. I've never been one to spend to much time in the summer on the backwater or the dam channel. As kids we'd just take the tents or pull a trailer and camp on the fingers and run the old aluminum boat or later our float tubes. Now, I just launch at the dam and run out to the west end. I can anchor in the fingers for protection from the wind and spend two or three days out there at a time. [signature] Re: [MMDon] Island Park Res. - mikkfin80 - 06-06-2011 Thanks for the info guys!

The s are priceless! [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - cpierce - 06-06-2011 The s are bigger than the fish, and they are some big fish! That is a great picture. [signature] Re: [cpierce] Island Park Res. - hulapopper - 06-06-2011 nice trout ! [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - macanudo - 06-06-2011 does anybody know if the road over the pass to the fingers open? [signature] Re: [macanudo] Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 There were five pickups parked on the bank on the west end fishing . I didn't see any campers . Curt G. [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 What does the lightning bolt on my post mean ? [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - Ktrout - 06-06-2011 [quote curt69]What does the lightning bolt on my post mean ?[/quote] I think it means it is a hot thread, meaning there are a number of posts. [signature] Re: [Ktrout] Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 Thanks . I wanted to know because I didn't put it there and didn't know what it was . Curt G. [signature] Re: [curt69] Island Park Res. - curt69 - 06-06-2011 Here is a picture of pickups parked on west end . So I think the road is open . I hope this pictures is smaller and easy to look at .
