Fishing in Lake Petit is big time fun and bucks

Text and Photos by Bennett Whipple

Happy vacationing families from far-flung places try out their fishing skills on Big Canoe's Lake Petit: Robin and Matt Witlin from Washington D.C. with their children McKenna (7) in purple, Tyler (5) in black, and Luke (3) in blue, and Julienne and Kevin Knowles from Houston Texas with Ashtyn (4) in Red. They'd already hooked two trout toward the day's limit of four.
Resident Gary Richard says he's given up golf for fishing and goes out regularly for Bass at the marina. They haven't been biting lately, he reports. Gary has an annual fishing membership along with some 270 other property owners, a number that's grown almost 6% in the past year.
Marina Manager Sally Williams plugs in one of the POA's five pontoon rental boats to recharge the battery for the next trip out on the lake. Boat rentals are becoming increasingly popular with rental revenues for July alone totaling $8,523.
A regular on Lake Petit, Resident Paul Pattek displays his customized trolling rod with unique spiral wrapped line guides. It even has a name, "The Petit," it's so special. "There's no month for bad fishing," says Paul. "It's a matter of knowing how to find them." That shouldn't be too hard since the lake is stocked monthly, October through April, with a total of some 18,000 two-pound rainbow trout.
New Yorker Alex Taylor, visiting the Addisons on Wilderness Parkway with his girlfriend, gets away for awhile to try his hand one August morning on Lake Petit. Other fish in Lake Petit include bream, catfish and bass, introduced to the lake when it was first formed.
Choctaw Village Resident Dave Plummer, on the right, entertains his vacationing family members from Brooklyn, Bob and Jessica Plummer and their son Landon (5), with a fishing trip on Lake Petit. We'll enjoy being on the lake, said Dave, even if we don't have any fishing luck.
