What a day! The conditions could'nt have been any better, the view (or lack of view) of the lake as we arrived was amazing. Pure blue sky, and where the lake is was hovering thick pea soup, looked awesome! All morning the weather was perfect, the water was glass. Visibility was about 50 yards or so which was cool.
There was some thick ice on the Rock Cliff side by the inlet, saw some fish activity over there but they wouldn't bite.
Was good seeing Pat on the water once again, it definately is going to be wierd not seeing him IN the water when we cross paths on hard water.
I spoke with all the folks fishing on the water and all reported slow to no success. Glad some got into the fish, we had to make an emergency "save me from the skunk" trip to a secret spot and within an hour Mike and I landed 2 great FAT cutthroats each.
Made a perfect ending for a could have been lousy catching day. got the opportunity to see 3 lakes that had excellent signs of ice forming, heard ice cracking for the first time on big water and it sounded pretty awesome!
Bring on the hard water!
Great seeing all I did on Jordanelle. Excellent day fishing!
