Wiperslayer and I went fishing today at east canyon for the first time this year. We arrived around 9am. the water was glassy calm and the fish were rising everywhere we could see.
There was one other boat on the water when we headed to the south end of the lake. The water temp was 42 degree as we began trolling on the west side. After wiperslayer had released his fifth fish I decided I had better switch to the same lure he was using or it was going to be a slow day for me. Ducks and eagles were flying all over the area as we caught one fish after another, all around 14inches and fat. These fish don't fight like a wiper but we had several double hookups and they would go airborne as often as not. The guys on shore were doing good from what we could see and as we were leaving we counted nine floattubes and three other boats on the lake. Oh yea, X man you are right these fish sure have
a problem with the parasites, catch and release is the only way to go. The boat docks are still in the water but they are in the little cove on the east side of the boat ramp. WH2
