I fished Hawkins yesterday in my tube from 7:30 until 3:00. The weather was great with 40's - 60's and very little wind. I used a #4 uniform sink line and various size 6-10 soft hackle flies and leech patterns. The fishing was pretty steady for mostly rainbows, hybrids and a few cutthroats. The water temperature was 64 degrees and the visibility in the water was about 7'. The reservoir level is down about 5' from being full and the deepest water I fished over was 19'. I caught about half the fish while paddling and pumping the rod and the other half while stripping the line up from the bottom. There was one boat, two other tubers, and a few shore anglers while I was there. The guys in the boat and the tubers all caught some fish but the bank anglers didn't seem to be doing much. I hadn't fished here in three years so it was nice to get back and spend some time on the pond. I had a rare treat on the way over from I-15. I saw two roosters and a hen pheasant. They should be on the endangered list in Utah, we hardly ever see any here.

I see pheasant pretty much every day on my way to work. I've actually been seeing a bunch right in Logan lately.

You guys are lucky.

I live in Southeastern Utah and between loss of habitat and the increase in predators they are having a hard time surviving down here.[frown]

I guess they've gotten smart. I do still see quite a few of them around Benson, Newton and Clarkston though.

Idaho definitely has a bunch. I see and hear a lot when I'm fishing around Preston.
