Hey Guys,
Thanks for replying to my post. As to were I was fishing. If you leave alpine and drive along the lake I fished the first pullout that there is. It is actually a plowed road that heads down to the lake. It looked like a small creek entered the resivour there as well but it is hard to tell with all of the snow. I tried to guess were the creek channel was 100 yards out in the lake and that is were I drilled my holes. I was deffinetly on the Idaho side of the lake. I do thinks the macs were cruising the shallows looking for minnows and such. I was rubbing my tube jigs in the slime on the cutthroats and it deffinetly seemed to stimulate the bight. My guess they were in there chasing the smaller cutties. A word of caution. The edges were soooo soft. There was plenty of ice on the main lake, but I had to tredge through knee deep slush with two feet of snow on top of that for 10-15 yards before I hit solid ice. I was soking wet. Luckly I had a tent and a big mr heater cause it was down around 0 degrees. Nest time I'll bring waders and change into my snow packs after I cross to the solid ice. Good luck everbody.

PS I'll do better on the pics from now on. I'll try and fix this one but my inlaws only have dialup so slow so it might have to wait until tommorow.
