Back in the day, Grant County's Ancient lakes was the place to go to for big bull bluegill. Not any more or at least it seems. Pacbassman, Mighty Myster and I made the mile plus trek in there Saturday morning to find the lakes at nearly full pool, but from the get go we had problems. Pacbass's floatube needed a new inner tube, so we missed the early morning luner tables bite time prediction. On the way in there had to of been at least a dozen small bluegill littering the trail, lost by fishermen intent on keeping undersize "dinks". And it was a "Dinkfest" on the water as well. My first bass was around a pound but every other fish we caught was way under the size from the fish I'm used to catching there. My digital camera memory card was full so I didn't get any pictures of the panoramic scenery for this report. I have never seen as many people out there as I did saturday morning. Every angler we passed coming out had plastic bags filled with 4 to 5 inch bluegill... Thus is the pitfall of having our remote treasures like Ancient lakes being featured in a prominant national hiking Magazine. The more exposure, the more fishing pressure, trash and the like. Hopefully this lake recovers to it's former glory. Till then, I will continue to pursue jumbo panfish closer to home. Jiggy
