Utah DWR Southeastern Region Fishing Report - Fishhound - 02-03-2008
[size 1]CLEVELAND RESERVOIR: Last weekend, one angler had good luck fishing in 10 feet of water with rainbow or chartreuse PowerBait molded onto a cheese hook. The bait was suspended about five feet from the bottom.
GIGLIOTTI POND: Use small jigs, tipped with worms, mealworms or salmon eggs.
HUNTINGTON CREEK: In open water stretches, try worms or artificial flies, such as Montana nymphs, San Juan worms or hares ears.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (also known as Mammoth Reservoir): Fishing pressure is very light, due to snow depth and ice thickness. Try a 1/8 ounce chartreuse jighead, tipped with half a nightcrawler. Keep the bait moving, slightly off the bottom. Strikes are very light, so set the hook at the first hint of a bite. This reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout or trout with cutthroat markings.
JOE'S VALLEY RESERVOIR: Dedicated Hunter Calvin Jensen reported excellent fishing at Joe's Valley last weekend for one party, which fished near the dam. The person who caught the most fish used a hot pink octopus jig with a white head. Most fish were caught just off the bottom in 25 feet of water. Calvin recommends jigging the bait almost constantly. Fishing was best between 8 and 10 a.m. The group near the dam hooked a number of 18-inch splake and a couple of 20-inch cutthroat trout. Another party caught a lot of 14- to 16-inch trout in 12 to 15 feet of water. They used jigs tipped with a mealworm or salmon egg. A third party near the boat ramp used gold attractants over jigs and chub meat. All groups agreed that fishing was very good.
LAKE POWELL: Visit www.wayneswords.com for the latest fishing report, provided by Wayne Gustaveson, DWR project leader.
LASAL MOUNTAINS: All mountain lakes are snowbound. Access is by snow machine only. Aquatics Biologist Darek Elverud fished Ken's Lake two weeks ago, and landed 10 fish in two hours, using a jig, tipped with a nightcrawler. The bite is very light.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR: No recent report. Try small ice flies, tipped with a piece of nightcrawler or a green marshmallows/worm combo.
SAN JUAN COUNTY: No recent report. A week ago, good fishing was reported at Blanding #3 and #4 with PowerBait or worms.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Dedicated Hunter Calvin Jensen surveyed anglers on January 25th and reported slow fishing with light pressure. Calvin indicated that the west side produced a few more fish than anywhere else. The best end tackle consisted of a green jig, tipped with a mealworm or salmon egg. Orange PowerBait, molded onto a green jig, also attracted a few bites. One party reported catching two fish per hour on Friday, but had little success the following day. Bruce Sherman, Sr. interviewed anglers last Friday and Saturday and reported slow fishing on both days for most anglers.
STRAIGHT CANYON: In open water, try a prince nymph, hares ear or ugly in sizes 14-18. You will need to drift a fly through the hole several times to draw a strike. [/size]
