Hillock Lake details

[fishnut2]

I see the road/trail into Hillock and Highwind is in good shape. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to share if and how Hillock is doing for trout this winter. Planning a trip for Monday and would just like an update. Will comment on Monday when we get back.

We got snowed in on the states side so we had to cancel. Hopefully will make the trip another day

Thanks for the update fishnut - I was keeping an eye on this to see how you had done.

Drove by the road to Hillock/Highwind on Tuesday and it is snowed in.

Some of my friends went up today. Said the trail in was good. Weather was great. Deep slush under brand new snow from this week. Party of 3 caught 8 total fish but did not get to fish areas we would have liked to try. Nothing big.

Went up to Hillock today with 2 others and fished approximately 100 fow 55 feet down. Started out slow but was good between 11 and 1:30 or so. Biggest fish was 33 inches and weighed 12.75 lbs. Slush on the travelled parts of the lake was frozen solid. Had to stay on the old tracks but snow depth on the lake was less than a foot now. Was a great time on a new lake. Thanks to Mike and his friend at the trail head for all the advice on lakes in the area.

Sounds like a good outing fishnut. 33" er is a nice trout!
