Petty4life and myself made a morning run up to East Canyon today. Was a really nice day to be out. Wind wasn't blowing much, and the fishing was excellent. We fished for about 3.5 hrs, and we boated 34 fish. The largest was a 17" football rainbow. At first the bite was very light, and we missed a bunch of fish, but then at around 9 it really picked up. We ended up with 5 sets of doubles for the day. Seems like today the fish were consistantly bigger than those we've been catching over the last couple months. Nothing huge, but not many hatchery pets today. We ended up giving 4 fish to a lonely bank fisherman who wasn't having much luck. If we had another PFD we would have had him ride along to catch a few fish.
We caught the fish today fishing from 30-35 feet down, trolling 1.2 MPH, using Apexes and Kokanee Kings tipped with crawlers and mealies. I was surprised that the water temps were still 39 degrees. It will probably be a few more weeks before ice up.
Thanks for the nice trip petty4life!
