Morning on Aeroflex

Illif looks private to me. I can’t see any public access

Hi Matt, spoke to you in the parking lot at Areoflex this morning. I am glad you caught a nice salmon. I caught 2 smaller salmon and lost about 5, oh well. Was a nice day to be fishing!

If you drive about 1/4 mile past the Sheridan's Lodge bar and private beach club lot, there is a public access spot to Illif. It's a small pull off with a sign that says Town of Andover public access (or something similar). You park there and walk around gate and go straight for a minute.

I've been there but it's not my favorite place.

Those landlocked salmon sure are nice looking fish.

I made my second trip to Aeroflex last weekend and was rewarded with my first LL. It wasn't very big, probably a recent stockie. But when I was getting ready to go out, some guys were coming off the lake and they had a 29" LL on a stringer. Nice fish.

you serious? 29"??? that's massive...pretty sure that would crush the current record that was just weighed in!

kind of wish we would all let fish that big go though plenty of super tasty avg sized fish swimming around in all species, but whatever to each his own i guess...kind of like shooting yourself in the foot though as Andy would say.

Yep it was huge. I was sort of surprised they kept it. They said they threw back another 8 smaller ones. I personally would have kept two smaller ones for the table and let the big guy go.

29" new state record that was JUST set. That fish was 25 & change inches 8+ lbs. A 29" is 10 lbs easy...

I wanna see pics of that mammoth
