I fished Electric Lake today in my tube from 8:30 until 11:30 and managed only one 16" cutthroat with only three other hits. I was trying to catch a kokanee but that plan failed. I was using a fast sinking line with a size 8 bead head red/pink UV polar chenille body and a pink marabou tail. The water temp was 41 degrees and the visibility was about 6'.
There is no problem with boat launching, water levels are good and no snow to speak of.
I got out and headed back over the mountain and fished Scofield from 12:30 until 3:30 using a medium sinking line and size 6 bead head soft hackles in brown/green/pearl and midnight fire. I launched on the east side of the reservoir and fished in 12' - 18' FOW. I picked up a few small cutthroats between 11" and 14" long. The water temperature was 41 degrees and the visibility was about 4'.
There were no chubs harmed during my visit.[

Finally after six years there is enough water in Scofield to fish there again.[
