UL (pump house) report

Steelhead and yellow perch fishermen float a small jig under a bobber and it works very well. The waves give it a little action. I've caught tons of white bass with a little curly tail jig (1/16 oz or smaller) under a weighted float and it works like a champ! Down at the Minersville Reservoir, back when it was a trophy fishery (I'm not sure if it still is), during the spring, you would catch huge rainbows floating a copper or brown colored marabou jig under a bobber at ice-out. You would cast the set up onto the ice, drag it just until it fell off the ice and the rainbows loved it. I've heard people doing it at Strawberry with a black colored tube jig or black marabou jig at ice-out as well for huge cutthroats. When I do it, I just give the rod a little action and that seems to cause strikes when the waves don't.
