Mark and his son Alex are Henderson Harbor regulars who decided to give the brown trout in Fair Haven a try today. We had some really nasty thunderstorms roll through on Friday night and when we got out to the lake at first light the lake was pretty riled up and snotty. We didn't find the temps we had hoped for right away and the fishing was tough while we were in search mode. But once we found the warmer water and some nice marks we began to pick away at them fairly well. We found our best water way West of Fair Haven, almost to Port Bay! We took fish on #47 Metallic Orange Specs KA-BOOM Shiners, Black/Silver Rapala's, Black/Gold Rapala's, and the Northern King Mulatto. Best depths were 12-15 FOW, and 2.2-2.4 mph was our best speed. While it wasn't as fast and furious as we would have liked, we worked hard and ended up the day with a nice catch and the lake laid down pretty nicely by late morning so we had a comfortable ride for most of the day. The cold front that blew through on Friday night didn't help matters much, and I suspect that the fishing will only get better from here on out. Today's fish were all smaller than we got into last weekend but they still made us smile. After a rough start it ended up being a great day to be out on the water and we made a couple of new friends to boot. What more can you ask for? Man, I love this!!
Here are a couple of shots from today:
