We went to Scofield today and fished on the Ice around the dam area from 7AM to 3:30PM ish. the ice was about 8" and I saw a side by side 4 wheeler cruising around on the ice so it should be pretty safe now. Out of 5 of us we caught under 30 fish which I would call a slow day at Scofield. We caught Rainbows, Cutthroats, and Tigers. Most of the fish averaged around 12". I broke 2 fishing poles one of them due to a 5 pound 24" Tiger. In picture 7 you can see the Tiger versus the average size fish that we were catching. We pretty much just used Crown Royal, 40 Creek, and tube jigs tipped with meal worms, wax worms, or night crawlers. In picture 5 you can see what the big Tiger did to my pole along with the jig I caught it on. All in all a really enjoyable day on the hard deck.

Did the biggun by chance have a hook with about 18" of leader... That was about the size of the one that broke off. If I didn't have my gloves on I would have got him. There are some big tigers there. Ill load up the pics of our tigers bows and cuts. Most of them were pretty skinny, except for the one that got away. My buddy said I looked like a bear clawing at the water trying to pull out a trout.

Nope although the same thing almost happened to me. When he broke my pole he fell back in the hole and my brother was able to grab him out real quick. Here is a couple of extra pics.
