Couple of buddies & I hit East Canyon Resv this a.m. We fished from 7:30-noon & found the trout in around 40' of water on the far east side of the lake. Ice was about 6" thick & aside from a little snow on top, smooth & crystal clear.
Final tally was 5 bows. I caught 4 & one other guy caught the other. The first was only 10-12" so back he went, while the others went home for dinner. I forgot how much I HATE picking out the pin bones. lol But, all in all, it was a fun time. Not too cold and very little wind.
Tonight, I cooked up the trout using a new recipe that sounded good. Turned out not too shabby, though I would make some tweaks if I made it again.
Also found out that there's a perch derby at Pineview on the 29th. Plannin on hittin that. :) Also, there's a burbot tourney coming up at Flaming Gorge from the 22nd to the 29th with cash & prizes for biggest & most caught. Wish I could go as I've ALWAYS wanted to try my hand at burbot & I hear they taste excellent.
