Heat Report post Posted April 19, 2012 We're headed to Big Lake on Sunday! Can't wait! Looks like we timed this pretty good. Hey Pine Donkey, could you let me know what the fish were biting on? Did you fish from the shore or a boat? I think we are going to rent a boat. Any other pointers would be great! Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elk77hunter Report post Posted April 19, 2012 I'm so excited to get up there this summer, just wish is wasn't so far and i could make more trips on weekends. Didn't get to go last year, first time in like 20 years. I'm more curious to see what it looks like since the Wallow fire. Which brings up a question....does anyone know good areas to camp that are not in one of the main campgrounds at Big Lake? We might have a huge group going and might need to find a campsite that can hold all of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there two weeks ago fishing was steady for the 10" type trout, but not to many of the hogs were caught. We tried everything. Power bait, worms injected with air, salmon eggs, pistol Pete's, etc. Rainbow power bait worked as good as anything else. We usually have good luck with the garlic powerbait this time of year, but on this trip they were not interested in garlic. We fished from the shore at South Cove. Good luck and post your results. My assistant Principal just left for the mountains. If he has any luck I will post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He dicided to try an old honey hole rather than Big Lake, but it seems he did ok. The board they are on is 18 inches wide. He had a great time, but his three year old boy was in Heaven. He is at the same lake again today. Ill let you know how he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
