[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I just got home today after spending 5 days camping at Hyrum with my daughters and their families for Father’s Day weekend. I fished for 4 days and saw over 100 trout brought to the boat by 6 different people. We kept 5 limits and let the rest go.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The hottest baits were a #5 Perch Rapala, a #5 Brown Trout Rapala, and a pink/white squid & half a crawler behind a gold/silver RMT dodger. The preferred depth was 25 feet but the 2 Rapalas were doing yeoman’s service on the surface as well.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Saturday was a real zoo with the power squadron starting early at 8:00 AM, but the fish kept on a coming in spite of all the extra activity. Friday, Sunday, and Monday mornings were almost windless and the trolling was easy.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Saturday afternoon we headed over to Porcupine to get away from the crowds and passed Wiperhunter2, AFDan, and a couple others as they were leaving when we arrived. While we marked several very large schools of kokanee, we couldn’t entice any of them to take our offerings. So while it was nice to have the place to ourselves for a couple of hours, we came away fishless.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Most of the trout we caught were from the new bunch of planters just released there a couple of weeks ago. The biggest one caught for the whole trip was by my granddaughter who boated a respectable 15 incher. None of our fish had a tag - darn it.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I’m thinking my next trip might have to be to Strawberry or Starvation. Take care y’all and may all your lines be tight.[/#800000][/font]

Glad you and the family had success at Hyrum,was kind of curious about the Title of your post. Did you fish Rockport as well?

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Good catch (he said as he wiped the egg off his face). I have NO idea where my mind went for the 2 seconds it took me to type in the report title. And of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.[/#800000][/font]

Fixed it here.

Sounds like some fun tugs. What kind of rigs you dragging, downrigger, or lead?

Hyrum's one lake I've got good use out of the rigger, and the weeds enjoyed my offers also!
So the powersquad started early on a Sat. Interesting, thought they usually slept in, and slept it off.

Might have to give it a try before too long. Maybe there's some perch and bass s
