Great pics! It's amazing how low the waters have receded this summer. Let's hope for a full snow-pack this winter or our hobby will be suffering.
I was there at Hyrum last saturday evening and early sunday morning. My boy and I were fishing there on the dam, with some people to our left and also around the bend to our right. The guys on the left caught an enormous 'bow just tossing spinners from the bank. Estimated around 8 lbs. I'm guessing. I know they're in there, but I've never seen one that big caught from Hyrum. The two guys to our right were also catching trout using powerbait. They were nice enough to even give me some of the special flavor, and presto I started catching trout. (some say if you use power bait you might as well be cheating).
They all kept stringers of their trout, most of which were large in size. I released all mine back into the lake. My boy caught a ton of little largies, bluegills, and perch. The perch are making a good comeback there at Hyrum after a couple years of struggling.
