Does anyone know if the ice is off Rock Lake near Hinton? Has anyone had any luck fishing there. I have my mind set on catching a lake trout this summer but have no idea what i am doing.
Shouldn't be much ice left. Try hitting it up right around the opening week (may 21st). I have had friends do quite well trolling wooly buggers and leaches.
how hard is it to get into the camp ground there for the long weekend? thinking about taking the g/f up there for the weekend. i have stayed there in the fall but im thinking may long could get busy? pm for details thanks
they take reservations there; on a fishing note - believe it or not - i have had my best luck trolling in less than 10'
cheers

I'm from Hinton and We are heading up to Rock Lake a week early from the long weekend just so we can get a decent spot. The campground can get full fast but the road is good going in there.
last year, lake was iced over still on the opener, and about 20-30 yards out two weeks after. Also the sites are never full. at least not that i've ever seen. got over 200 sites(tenting included).
anyone have advise on trolling gear for when they head a little deeper? im heading there the week after may long and am rigged up with downriggers. i have had good luck on spoons but it was years ago and i don't remember what was working.
