Jordanelle 3/12

[Jig-fisher]

We tried Jordanelle this morning.  Parked at the ramp and went for a walk all the way around the big point north of the ramp and back into that arm near the trees.  No issues at all getting on, no soft edges. Punch some holes along the way with no luck.  We would have some nice schools of fish come through at various levels (kokes?) that would not bite.  Settled in 28" of water and finally started marking a few fish.  1st hookup was a brown suspended 1/2 way down that was about 17". It was slow, but scratched out 5 more bows with another one lost at the hole, and a 1/2 dozen missed bites or so.  We used various colors of tungsten jigs with a small plastic tipped with a wax worm. Took my daughter in law with me and she was excited to catch her 1st couple of fish through the ice.  Those bows sure pull well and she loved it.  They ranged from 15-18". Talked to a couple guys near the ramp as we were leaving and they hadn't caught anything yet but hopefully they got into some.

The main lake our from the dam 
is open water but the PWC ramp is still locked up.  With warmer temps it might not be too long before you'll be able to put a boat on it.  Here's some pictures.
