It is now official. There are no fish in Glen Helen. At least in the small lake. There were two fish in there at one point today. Of that I am sure because I saw the cormorants eat two fish, but of course they are now gone, and that leaves none. There are no fish in that lake. The say they will put more in tomorrow, but that is to be seen. As for me, I give up fishing...period. For all the fish I caught today I might as well have stayed home and fished in my bathtub. The end.

NO NO !!! Jon it's ok , hell with the trout for this winter. Spring is near and the hard fightin panfish will be hungry again, they fight harder then trout anyway and more of them to catch. Hope to see ya out there when the water warms up.

Thanks for the encouragement, Ted. I felt like I could have dragged a siene across the bed of that lake with no better results, but in hindsight I am sure it was just not a good day for the bite...or the angler apparently.

Sorry to hear about your bad fishing day! Winter fishing is tough, I went to the ocean, river and lake and skunked for two weeks (well I did catch a small lizard fish). Now fishing is picking up again, keep up your spirits and hope, Spring is on its way! Wish you better luck on your next trip.

I agree. I have been fishing the day before stocking figuring they put in so many fish it wouldn't matter. A little cocky on my part I admit. I read reports for the day after stocking the same week, and it was entirely different. I guess with your schedule you have to fish weekends, though.

I only fish that place in the summer and fall anymore. The catfish and gills are alot more cooperative there.Plus look at what you are paying to get in now. Go to Silverwood for trout, its not to far from there, about 15 minutes.

You catch trout from the bank at Silverwood?
