Mud creek report

[redbeard]

My son and I were up at mud creek today along with 3 other groups, at least one was a bft crowd, Scotty p I think. We ended up icing 15 between us and my son must have lost 6 at the hole, he eventually got the hang of it. All slot cutts but one of the ones lost at the hole was a rainbow, nice sized. We were in 20 feet of water but most of the fish were suspended at between 15 and 8 ft. of water. A fish finder would have been the ticket today, I don't get mine till the first of Jan. White tube jigs tipped with minnow worked best, I did catch 1 with a whatacricket and millworm and one with a paddlebug. We had fairly steady bites but there were a couple of dead times. We were on the north side but the one group on the south side seemed to be doing a bit better, I think they had a good finder and were targeting the fish when they moved through. Average ice thickness was 4 inches but it looked like clear across to highway 40 there was a cap on the whole thing.
Good fishing to ya'll
