Anyone Fish Walker Jenkins?

[327trout]

I might go check it out next week but have never fished it through the ice. Any ice reports or suggestions would be welcome. If not I will report back in a few days.

All I know is its deep!  Its an old strip  mine pit or something like that.  Was supposed to have Walleye in it from what I was told, never fished it but always wanted to

I've fished it during the summer but all we saw were rainbows, I can't verify walleye but that would be cool.

This was probably 10 years ago I heard a report of th eyes.  Call the GF in Larmamie and ask the fish biologist about it

Mostly small rainbow with the chance for a 20 incher every now and then. Ice usually 15 inches plus. Used to be part of the Pathfinder mine. Crazy deep spots. Walleye, none yet.

Is that where the fish glow?

Fished it during the fall and spring but never with ice.  Fished it last year at the beginning of May out of my float tube.  Some seriously cold water that time of year.  Would be interested to hear how it fishes.  The lake is pretty deep and in speaking with the rancher, the water level goes up by about 1 foot/year.  Appears to be steep mud slopes with a few benches, not the greatest looking type of structure although I did hear about a semi-truck that they lost into the lake.

Thanks everybody, I'm meeting my dad there in the morning, hoping for a big one. I'll report back tomorrow night.

Ice was 16 inches thick with complete snow cover, fished in 6-20 fow, I caught 3 16 inch rainbows and my dad hooked one but lost it and got skunked. The fish were all nice and healthy but didn't see very many on my camera. I'm not sure about my dad, but I had a good time.

It is a 120 ton coal truck, and should be in the east side, i was working the night the gey lost his air and therefore the brakes, he jump out, and the truck went over

[327trout]

Coal Truck huh, I guess I should look for it with my camera next time. Is there a visible road where you are talking about?

[wyobrink]

Thanks for the fishing update.  How deep is the lake?  Coal truck.....I bet that would have been quite the sight to see the thing lose it and tumble in.  In speaking with the rancher, I was under the impression that it was a truck being used to backfill part of the reservoir and not for mining operations???
