Need help with Flaming Gorge ideas

[Ryno]

As of yesterday, ice was down to about Currant Creek. We fished Confluence where the ice was 8-inches, catching lakers, bows and cutts. My lakers all came on spoons (3/8 oz Buckshot and CLAM Flutter spoon in perch color) tipped with sucker meat in 60+ feet of water. I marked lakers throughout the water column, but the hitters were suspended, at 30-45 ft. My bows and cutts came on smaller Buckshots in perch color and Berkley Atomic tubes in white, tipped with worm or Gulp maggots. They were caught 10-15 ft below the ice in the main channel and also in 10ft of water along shore. You should be able to find sucker meat at Sportsman's Warehouse, but they also sell it locally around the Gorge. Try keeping it partially frozen and it's much easier to handle and put on the hook.

Hope it helps and good luck, Ryno
