Tell me about Palisades - kj - 02-18-2012 I was born in Star Valley many years ago. Moved to Utah with my family where I was raised. Used to fish the Salt River, Greys and Snake with my Grandfather as a youth. Now, many years later, my wife has finally joined me in ice fishing and I have always wanted to fish Palies on the hard deck. This year may be the year, our 36th anniversary is coming up in March. The winter in Utah has been very mild and the ice is coming off a lot of the lakes. We are not ready to put up the ice gear, so a weekend up at Palies sounds like a good time to us. I know the winter in that part of the country stays a long time. Anyone want to shed some light on where to go, conditions, what to use etc. We have a power auger, ice tents, heater, Vexilar fish finders, all the gear needed, just no knowledge of the area. Any info would be appreciated. [signature] Re: [kj] Tell me about Palisades - ironrod - 02-19-2012 best action seems to be by the dam. I was there today-caught 2 but was only there from 11-2pm. Normally white/clear jigs tipped with a piece of worm. Today a rubber jig skirt (orange/yellow) seemed to be the only thing they wanted. I seem to have better luck in 15-20ft of water about 2ft off the bottom. Once in a while fish will be caught closer to shore in 10-12ft. Let us know if you go![] [signature]
