Those fishing with him were using a lot of pink...with shrimp or wax worms. A few of the fish hit right on the bottom. Others were teased up from mid depth or closer to the ice. In short, there did not seem to be an identifiable no-fail combo of lure/bait/presentation. But the snow depth was horrendous and the snowmobiles seemed to have some issues with it.(03-05-2023, 09:16 PM)TubeDude Wrote: Not a big fan of Gary Winterton, but his Saturday night show was about fishing in a heavy snowstorm on Jordanelle. Fished in 16 - 20 FOW just out from the main ramp and got some piggy rainbows and quite a few splake. Nothing else before I filled up my "AWESOME" bingo card and turned him off. Surprisingly, he was using a silver dodger a couple of feet above a baited jig. Seemed to draw in the splake and they hit hard.
Well that's interesting, did it show what kind of jig he was using or how far off the bottom he was fishing?
I was really surprised at the number of splake he caught. But there were a lot of nice bows caught too...including some over 20' and a few very dark prespawn males. No perch or other species while I watched. AWESOME. I tried to find a link to the program on Channel 2 but couldn't. Might be worth searching out if you want some more current info.
