10/21/11 Heenan Lake in Alpine County (Monitor Pass)

I finally made it to Heenan Lake on Friday.  Ended up with a 12 to 14" and one that went three to four pounds.  My buddy was using my loaner Hobie Outback and he managed a 12", one that went 2.5 lbs. and one he says went 7 to 8 pounds.  Only got one picture of the larger one I caught.






The fall foilage colors were at their peak:

Beautiful. Thanks for the report and pics.

Beautiful fish, congrats. I fished that lake once about 7 years ago and did pretty good also.

Great fish - that's a beauty!  Thanks for sharing.   

Atavuss, that place looks like paradise and nice fish you have there. Never really got into lake or fresh water fishing always in the salt but reports like this I might just give it a try. Thanks

Place looks awsome! Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous fish 

Nice fish. This coming weekend is the last weekend it will be open correct?

Nice fish, nice country, will have to try it.  Thanks for the great pictures.

Wow, beautiful Lahontan cutts!  Right on!

Nice fish. This coming weekend is the last weekend it will be open correct?
