Fishing Forum

Had a good day at Fish Lake with some great forum members. Left Utah County early and battled fog at all low points on I-15. Pretty dicey in places but we made it to Richfield where Mr. Fish Lake himself was waiting for us. I'll give you a hint, he usually wears a Cincinati Bear Cats hat. He fished the night before and his report was not too encouraging but I didnt loose faith!!

We hit the ice before the sun came up and had a few quick bites and a couple little Splake on the ice. After that it went dead, I think with all the noise and pressure on that easily accessible side had the fish a little tight lipped. Christoper30 informed us that we need to make the LONG trek across the lake to the east side. It was a long haul but we got er done. There is hardly any snow on the lake and that ice is SLICK!! Scientificangler had the hot rod over there but we all did good. No skunk and probably 60 fish iced in about three hours. No Macks this trip but Chris got a good bump on a huge tube jig so maybe next time. Two rainbows and the rest were splake that ranged from 15 to 18 inches. I had never caught a splake so it was good to cross that species off the list. All fish were caught on radical glow tubes and maniac ice cuttrs. Real fun day. A big thanks to Christopher30 for a great day and Scientificangler for some good company on on long drive for a day trip. Here are the pics.

I went up on Saturday and it was fish on until 1:00 - see Valhalla post below. My brother and his family went on Monday at my suggestion and they got the skunk (they stayed on the south west side). My nephew who is a very social little fellow, put on his ice scates and scated to all the fishing groups around. They were not catching fish either. Looks like you guys made the right move with the trek across to the other side. Great post. Thanks.

sounds like fun. i am thinking of making a trip this saturday but not real familiar with the lake, any pointers and or directions to get to where the fish would be greatly appreciated. maybe a landmark or two.

That was a great learning experience, walking that far without a four wheeler or cleats is something i can honestly say i probably won't do again. Had a good time though, give it a month the big ones will start showing up in reports. If it doesn't cool off the ice will be gone early this year, that's the only thing i'm sure of anymore.
