I joined BFT a year ago, but have really been inactive. Got into ice fishing last year, but didn't get to go too much. I've been a few times so far this year up here in Northern Utah. I am hoping to go a lot more, but with school starting back up in a week, it will be a little tough, pretty much limiting me to the weekend.
I have been fishing at Mantua, Newton, and Hyrum so far up here. Sorry for not posting things sooner, but here's how things went.
Dec 15 on Mantua - 1st trip this season. Fished for about 4-5 hours. Between the 2 of us, we probably brought in 25-30 fish. We caught perch, bluegills, bass, and trout. The picture below is a little more than half of our keep. We had some more bluegill and another largemouth.
Dec 16 on Mantua - Went back with a different friend. We were fishing in about 7-10 feet of water. No pics because we didn't keep any. Just wanted to catch a bunch, and we did. Fished for about 4 hours and caught probably 25 trout between the two of us.
Dec 19 on Mantua - Went back again with a friend and met another there. Again no pics. Sorry about that. Between the three of us, we probably caught 30 fish. Fished for about 3 hours, catching trout, bluegill, perch, and bass.
Dec 19 on Hyrum - Left Mantua and met others at Hyrum. Very slow with all of us catching one fish though.
Newton - Not sure of the dates, but I have been out there three times. I have fished all over near the dam and spots all up the reservoir. No luck yet. I've only had one bite.
I am hoping to head up to East Canyon in the next few days. I went twice last year and had a lot of success.
