My wife and I and the 4 year old went up to scolfield today with some friends, it was a trip that had been planned for a while and we didn't want to bail on them, so we missed out on the perch party. Wished we could have been there though it sounded like it was a lot of fun. We got to scolfield about 9:00 and fished until about 12:45 just off the highway north of the dam. We used mealworms on a sz 12 hook, no jigs or ice flies, we'd string the worm right up the hook and up the line a bit so it looked like a worm just drifting in the water. It worked good, we landed 13 fish, all but three were between 12 and 15 inches, all rainbows. It was a beautiful morning, sun out the whole time. My boy landed three of them and spent the rest of the time tubing, and the wife caught the biggest one, was a lot of fun.
