Herrington Lake

[flyfish]

Off topic from LM fishing, but has anyone seen any of the monster gar hanging around? I bowfished that lake quite a bit about 12 years ago and there used to be big longnose gar hanging in the floating timber. I've been thinking about going down to give it a try again.

Got back around midnight...i'd have to say strike three for my third trip there. Launched under cloudy skies, began fishing right where we put in at Pandora. Fished back in Cane Run and then down to Taynard Branch. Saw LOTS of baitfish in the back of creeks. Water temp ranged from 84-86. Concentrated on shady banks and tried to find the stair-step ledges to key on. Threw different junebug, watermelon, and black/blue combo jigs and plastics...got a couple short fish after dark on watermelon/red trickworm and a junebug/red trickworm on a shaky head. Also tried a swimbait and a chatterbait around certain docks and banks in vain. Didn't get a single pull on a crankbait parallel to the banks we hit.

All in all, a beautiful evening to fish. Thanks for the help fellas, wish I had something of actual substance or a good fish story to share....maybe next time...

If you got the smell of fish on your hands this time of year on Herrington it was not that bad of a nite. I have been skunked more times than I'd like to admit nite fishing Herrington. You could go out tonite and fish the same areas and catch 20. That's just Herrington this time of year. I wouldn't give up on it just yet.
