Had a couple hours to myself today. So I made the quick drive up to deer creek. Got to the water by four p.m. Fished near the dam on the west side. Soaked a couple flavors of powerbait for a bit because I was tired after working, just wanted to relax by the water. Didn't end up with a bite until I reeled in my bait to call it . A very healthy 20" Brown came up, and bit the salmon peach powerbait, said a quick hello then back in for a swim (My first brown outta deer creek). Figuring moving baits worked once I switched to a gold Kastmaster to see if I could get them to work twice. Sure enough within 3 casts a smaller, beautifully colored, hook-jawed male rainbow wanted to play. He went back to swim as well. Left the water by 5:30 just after the sun went down.
Sorry for no photos, I was too chicken to break out the phone for any because I'd already tried to fall and trip into the water a couple times without the excitement of a fish on. The path was muddy and slick, and the rocks to get to the water weren't as stable as they looked.
If anyone is wondering, I didn't see any ice on the water at all.
