Title: Re: Latest late-in-year trip? Post by Westwood on Oct 27th, 2016 at 3:37am
My wife and I went on a three day trip, October 14, 15 and 16, 2005 into Beaverhouse Lake. We were the only car in the BH parking lot. We had to paddle to the ranger station to register and then camped on one of the islands north of the ranger station. We did not encounter any really bad weather, but did have some strong winds. We caught a few bass which made two evening meals. We caught 4 other fish, namely, 18 inch northern, 32 inch, 11.7 pound trout, 27 inch, 6.7 pound trout and a 40 inch, 17.8 pound northern. I lost one or two other fish. The lake is very quite in mid October as most birds have left and mating season is over. The cooler weather makes every thing slower. But the biggest problem is how short the days are. Plus, the season on trout ends in September. I would like to try another October trip because the big northerns are suppose to bite in the fall. My wife, however, would not accompany me. Campfires in fall, however, are wonderful. I think fishing in a future trip could be better because in 2005 I was still working on our fishing techniques.
