Otter creek

[stan55]

I'm down south and with temps hitting 110 in St George decided a trip was just the thing to avoid heat. Otter is filled to the brim. Campground was full and about 20 boats were on the water. Temps in 50s at 8am launch. Just a slight breeze. Perfect. Started trolling along east side as that's where the power bait crowd was located. Nada. Decided to make my way to the west side and about halfway there we doubled up on some nice fat bows. Trolled back and forth for rest of day as bite stayed hot. The rainbows were 16-to-20-inch fat little footballs and fought like crazy. Hooked over 20 of them during the time we fished. Trolling depths were 10 to 15 and speed was 1.5 mph. Used some rabbit streamers s I tied myself and squids. Color did not matter. We were fishing 2 oz snap weights 30 to 40 feet back with a setback of 35 feet.

I'll likely hit Fish Lake and Minersville in next few days but a return to Otter is a high probability.
