[cool][#0000ff]Most minnow habitats are frozen over now...with the exception of some small warm springs out in the desert.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, if you can drill a hole in the ice large enough to drop your trap through...and are able to get it turned around to bring back up through...you can get minnows through the ice. You need to find them on sonar and then drop down to them. Scofield is a good spot. Ditto for Settlement Canyon outside of Tooele. Chubs are often so thick in those places that it is difficult to fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Otherwise, the best time to get them is when they swarm the shallows to spawn in the spring. [/#0000ff]
