Went ice fishing at Deer Creek on Thursday (January 26) in the morning. The ice was great! 9" thick. The fishing was not so great. We went to the main launch ramp at the State Park and headed out toward the mouth of Wallsburg Bay. Some guys we passed on the way reported catching a few fish at 50' depth. We went a bit farther out, where the water was 90' deep. The fish finder showed plenty of fish near the bottom, and for a couple of hours we tried to entice them to bite with various jigs tipped with worms or shrimp. Nary a nibble! Still, despite freezing temperatures, it was fun to be out on the ice. We'll go again soon. Any pointers from anyone who had more success at Deer Creek (or elsewhere) would be appreciated.
Some ice fishermen I saw at Utah Lake the next day said that they had had good success catching fish at Deer Creek spraying their jigs with WD-40. Have others on this board had success with WD-40?
