This is from the DWR's weekly fishing report.[laugh]

Nov. 10
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (on the Wasatch Plateau) The reservoir has iced over. Ice anglers are urged to be patient and wait for safe conditions. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout and trout with cutthroat markings.

SCOFIELD RESERVOIR - Sergeant Carl Gramlich reports that ice conditions are dynamic, due to widely fluctuating temperatures. Morning anglers may find ice along shorelines and in shallow bays. Warming daytime temperatures or wind action may open things back up by afternoon. Anglers are urged to think twice about the danger associated with venturing out on thin ice. As of last weekend, there were still lots of boaters, tubers and pontooners on the water. In the mornings and evenings, dead redside shiners or a nightcrawler/marshmallow combo have been the best baits. During the day, orange sparkle PowerBait was most effective. Most trout have been rainbows in the 14-inch-size class.

[cool]That is AWESOME news. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

Might be sooner than 1 month, ocean. I bet you'll hear of some reports in about 2-3 weeks from one of those two lakes.

I'm never the first one to venture out on the ice, but after I hear the first report of 4 inches of safe ice, I'm there!!![laugh]

[cool]I'm looking forward to hitting echo this year. I've heard there are big perch in there, and lots of them, with the chance of catching the occassional brown. Can't wait to get up there, but Echo doesn't usually freeze till January, does it? Maybe since it's so shallow this year it will freeze earlier.[unsure]
