Hyrum Icefishing Report
#1
Okay here we go - I will give this new beast a trial run with a post

Cookie and I hit Hyrum, what seems like months ago, but was only a few days back. 

Ice was in great shape despite Cookie yelping frequently about it cracking under her feet. For use we fished the south shore starting from the Dam and working towards the first point/cove. It was a bit slow for a couple hours until we started drilling deeper. Once we started a line out to 50ft we started marking and catching. About 10 AM the bite really heated up and the little lady was on them nonstop. I was too, but she would not take time to film me (honest I was catching - you will have to see the video exchange on the matter)

At 50 ft we were dropping chartreuse Ratfinkies and the normal assortment of ice flies and tungsten jigs. Did not notice a better color, but the biggest perch were on the ratfinlkie at 54ft. Had a few chase up better than 10ft off the bottom to grab a bite. That was fun to watch on the Deeper Chirp unit. Oh ya the jigs all tipped with Spikes. No bass or trout on that run.

Here is the video link

Headed to the Gorge Saturday to meet up with Family for some pup control work. Better dig out the bigger rods. These ultralight panfish ice rods are a hoot but not enough backbone to play on the Gorge

We still have a night crappie run at Pineview to do, but will have to wait till mid next week.

glad to be back and hear how you all are doing

Oh and the new site wont let you drop a photo in unless its file size is pretty small (500 kb)
Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew

Looks like a great time. Glad to see Hyrum is still producing.

Nice report, I saw your video from the facebook post. I'll have to try that end of the reservoir one of these days. Did they open up the road again?

Looks like another great outing there.  I have also been out numerous times since the enforced sabatacle. Hopefully, we can get out to the water again in the near future.

However, I am not going to post anything under my former ID until they get rid of the porn garbage on the first page and fix this debacle. I did my due diligence and let posted the screen scrapes on wiperhunters thread.

Its still closed over the dam, but we were able to come in the back way and get to the pull out on the west side of the dam. Numerous others were using the same method of access as me

I think your frustration is equally shared by all who are attempting to get back into the system.
