Impressive fish that produce great memories. Thanks for sharing. Catch and releasing those far northern fish helps keep the system in balance to maintain impressive catches in that clear low productive water.
The water was incredibly clear. You can see the bottom in 12’ very clearly. The fish were pretty aggressive also, we caught 80+ on a couple of the days. Barbless hooks were required, and the guides handled the fish very carefully. I was told the 40+ inch pike were over 30 yrs old.. There’s a fair amount of concern about a road that was recently put through, possibly bringing in more fishermen. While we were there, we were the only boats out.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
