I know it was mentioned in another report that they have stocked Mac's in Porcupine, which I think will be a really fun option up there for future fishing.. However, it may take ten years to get good, but I like the potential, just hope I will still be able to fish that pond by then... Then the other surprise to me, they planted a bunch of tiny wiper in Hyrum... I love catching wiper and I know they have done very well in similar ponds across the state, so I'm really hoping they survive and do well... Probably five years before that will turn into anything, but I love seeing the new things the division is trying, even if they did seem to give up on trout in Hyrum... I feel bad about that, it was a great fishery for bows, but hopefully it will be a good wiper pond someday... later J
Man will that be fun when there is a bunch of long liners and outboard planers fishing for wipers amidst the power squadron of wakeboarders and such
Yup that should be quite the time on the ole Hyrum pond.... And you pointed out a real issue with their management plan, Hyrum fishing to me has always been an off summer season thing, so I wonder how it will work out... That's why the bows were such good fish to have in there, they grow fast each summer and are all ready for the fall and ice season when they bite willingly... I don't have a bunch of experience with wiper, but they seem like they feed much more willingly during the summer months... so I don't know what that means for the ice fishing at Hyrum... Hope they still stock some bows and the perch come back with some size so it can still be a fun spot to hit the ice... Good comment... Later Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
