My friend was supposed to bring a his scout troop up from Nevada and I was going to take them all out to Strawberry and teach them how to ice fish.

The leaders decided at the last minute that Strawberry was too far of a trip and will only let them travel as far as the Beaver area.

I am looking at Minersville but really have no experience with it or any other places to fish in that far south.

Could anyone please give some recommendations. We still have a chance to save this trip but I will need some outside assistance. I do not need any secret spot where we will catch fish all day I would just like to see the majority of the kids catch at least one fish (I am sure this would not have been a problem out at Strawberry).

Thanks for any help.

Minersville has been good fishing lately but the only problem for the less experienced angler is that no bait or scents are allowed. Small 1/16 ounce maribou and tube jigs fished with constant motion produce the best. It may be better for the scouts to try Otter Creek res. if that is not too far out of the way.

I'd find a easier place to fish. Quantity is better over quality for young kids. Cave or Commins lake is a great place in Nevada. Try Little Res. up Beaver canyon. Short walk for smaller bows and maybe a 20lb brown.

You may want to consider giving Panguitch a try since it is relatively close. Try hitting the boat ramp on the north end and you should have really good luck. I've caught lots of good sized fish every time I've gone out this year. Most fish are in the slot, but it is still a good time for kids.
