Hit the rock at 730..park at the crandalls camp ground.. walked out about 300 yrds to the south west.. Ended up fishing in 13 ft of water.. Fishing wasn't fast and furious but i did manage to ice 7 bows..10 to 15 inches.. 1 brown and one cutt.. The cutt was the biggest.. My camera froze up this morning but i did get a photo of the cutt.. I think its is a cutt.. Or a cutt bow ?? I was using a green paddle bug tipped with a crawler.. Green swedish pimple (for flash) with a red trout magnet tipped with a waxie.. Edges are still fine.. 6 inches of new snow..

Were you the first truck in the parking lot today? If so we were right behind you, we went out toward the middle but did not do as good as you. Only 4 bows and two perch.
Not many reports about anyone catching browns there this winter and the cutts must be rare there, I've never caught one there. How late did you stay?

I took a couple of pics to show the snow. The second pic is of you and couple of other groups near you, the third are the perch.

So you guys went straight out from the parking lot ?? Or was you to the south of me that was on the move looking for fish ??? The big fish flag cant really be seen from a distance.. The last brown i seen from that lake was a few yrs back.. pettyforlife landed it.. I was kinda keeping my eye out for ya.. I didnt know what vehicle was yours.. Ya im not sure if that was a cutt or not.. I just started looking at the photo when i got home..

Not exactly straight out from the parking lot, more like southwest, the only folks even near us were in a red tent, we never set up tents.
Yea, we were way too far from anyone to see the flag. My guess is that we were 1/2 mile from where you set up. We drilled about 7 holes the first thing in the morning but didn't drill any after that because the power auger recoil got messed up, so it wouldn't start. We had a lot of fish looking but not biting. We were in the red chevy durango p/u.

Good job on that cutt. That is a pretty fish.
