Honestly early October leaves you quite a few options, Depending on the conditions at Crescent Lake it could be good fishing for Brook trout, really depends on the weeds. Reservation Lake, Big Lake and Hawley Lake will be good and should have a problem landing some better quality fish. If it was me i would fish Reservation Lake and maybe run over to Big Lake and Crescent for a day

Any fishing reports from the white mountains?I am leaving Wednesday to head for Reservation lake. Plan to Fish Sunrise, Big lake, and a couple other perhaps depending on how the fishing is. I will post a report when I get back

Got home last night from a few days at reservation lake. trip was cut a little short due to a vehicle fire but still had a good trip. Pretty sure the guys at the Hon Dah outdoor store are full of S%$t about Sunrise lake. fished it for a half a day and we never got a nibble, I know the lake well and always seem to do well but with it being so low last year that they did not stock it, and all the snow on the ice this year, there had to be a fish kill. We talked to fa few others that had been there for a couple days and they too never had a bite. Fishing at Reservation was good. Caught lots of browns in the 14-18" range and several fat holdover rainbows. The lakes are full and spilling with exception to Sunrise Lake. I will definitely be planning a trip for this fall

Does anyone know if you can launch a boat at sunrise lake and if the lake made it through the winter without a kill? How much has the lake come up with all the snow fall?I am Heading up there first of May to fish a few lakes and hoping to catch some big hold over rainbows for the smoker. last few years been super low and tough to launch a boat.

Real Classy remark.......he was a good man and even if i did not agree with all his principles and policy I still admired him for his courage and all the good things he had done for this country. I use to consider myself a republican, still vote that way but I am tired of all the name calling and petty behavior, nothing gets done. Now I just hear both sides blame each other and point fingers.

Wow that is a heck of a buck....I hope one like that makes a mistake and walks past me in a few weeks on the archery hunt up there

I will be up there hunting for 12 days with our group of guys, roads are in great shape. last time i was there cell signal was pretty sparse, had to go to lookout tower by Jacob lake to call out, not sure it has changed since i was last up there a few years ago. There are 500 tags which seems like a lot but it will not be that bad. There are deer basically everywhere you look, the burn is a good area to focus and if it dries up water will be an effective tactic. I mostly get away from the road and spot and stalk or sit on trails and water, just depends on the conditions. If you have a week to hunt you should have a good chance at finding a good deer to stalk.

Going to Kaibab for archery, cant wait. Also pumped my dad drew 3a/3c rifle hunt so back to 3c again for another hunt. Going to be a good year

never said you were born at night nor did i try to imply that....Just merely commenting on your post and adding my two cents, sucks to lose cameras. Thanks for the sarcastic response

Sucks you lost your cameras, but that is the chance you take when you leave them out in the woods for any period of time. Within our group of hunters we have learned to not hang cameras on water or salt for the most part, especially any water or salt that is easily accessible. We have had some stolen and it sucks, but we also know it is possible that it will happen and do not invest in overly expensive cameras. There is not much recourse if they are taken, it is what it is. Hope you find them

Rez has better fishing

Okay, Ill check it out. Thanks

What website do you guys think is the best an most accurate when it comes to draw odds. I have 10pts and will be putting in for archery bull in 1 and 3a/3c. Just curious who you guys use

Saw some rutting activity this past weekend will be headed up next week to chase some deer. Area I'm in is further north than 29 though. they should really get going soon I would think

they will be out in the burns feeding at night and in the nastiest canyons away from the road during that hunt. spend a lot of time in the unit and always see elk. should not be to hard to find a good bull. Just make sure you have good optics and lots of help. good luck

Awesome!!! heck of a shot....3a/3c is a fun hunt

My Wife was lucky enough to draw a 3a/3c rifle tag this year with 2 points. She got tag 99 out of 100 and i proceeded to let her know exactly how lucky she was. Unfortunately due to our work schedule, having a young kid at home, and her medical condition we were unable to get much scouting in for the hunt. I was not to worried about that however because I have spent so much time in the unit, had the tag 2 in the last 5 years, and would have help and extra eyes to glass. Being her first hunt it was a bit of a struggle at first, forgot how much patients one must have with a new hunter and especially when that new hunter is your wife. First few days we saw lots of deer and had 4 really good opportunities. Her inexperience got in the way but she did not get down and just learned from what went wrong. On Halloween morning everything came together. I was able to glass two decent first bucks feeding among a heard of elk. they were about 800 yards out and the wind was perfect. We made our move and got with about 300 yard. I wanted to get a little closer and get her prone so we bellied crawled the last 50 yards we could and got her set up. I got her set up on the deer and got them in the binos to watch the show. I told her to shoot the biggest buck which was the one higher on the ridge. He was a really nice 5x4 that was about 28" with good mass and tine length. I asked her if she was on him and she confirmed she was ready. i whispered for her to squeeze the trigger and Bang!!!...all of the sudden the smaller 4x3 kicks and starts running and digging his grave. The deer made it 20 yards and piled up, perfect double lung shot. While i was watching the deer expire i turned to see my wife panicking asking if she Got'em. I gave her a big hug and said he is down but you shot the WRONG ONE! we laughed and told her i was proud of her and that it was a very respectable first deer. She was ecstatic when we walked up on it and saw how heavy it was and that it had double eye guards on one side as well as a flat palmated eye guard on the opposite side. Turned out to be a great hunt and was also able to help a good friend fill his tag later that evening. Fun hunt, Great Memories, and now a wife that's hooked on hunting

Right on, congrats on a fun hunt and nice deer

thanks guys for the comments, my wife keeps checking the page and I think she is starting to realize she is a little spoiled for a first deer. Told her it was a great deer, think she needed some confirmation haha. hope we can get the tag again in the next few years

Nice deer, rare to get a velvet buck this late in the year

Well i just had to surrender my 7E peaks bull hunt that opens on 10/6. Hopefully lucky tag #8 will find its way to a lucky Coueswhitetail member. Good Luck

I believe so, from what I recall you get all your points back plus one for this year. Could be wrong but that's what I remember

Hit the lake with a good buddy after work on Friday. Got on the lake around 4pm and there wasn't to much boat traffic and luckily no storms. Fishing was good before dark, caught fish on senkos, crankbaits, and jerkbaits. After dark the bite slowed down but picked up a few on jigs and crankbaits. Decided to call it a night around midnight. Overall good night on the lake

Nice Fish!
