Had some time to burn this afternoon so headed up the mountain to go fishing. Went over to Scofield first. It was pretty slow for me. I used egg sacks and minnows on one pole and threw lures with the other. Only caught one nice 18" tiger on a minnow. Saw several smaller fish try for my lures, but they didn't quite hit the lure. As I was driving to Scofield I saw a small bit of open water at Electric by the inlet so I figured I'd give that a try on the way home. I fished there for around an hour and a half and caught around 10 fish and lost three or four more. I caught one on a rapala and the rest using minnows. The three biggest I caught were males all around 18" or 19" inches. There is a bigger chunk of open water about a half mile down the lake where there are some springs that feed into the lake, but you'd probably want a snowmobile or at least snow shoes to make it down to it. Sorry no pictures. I need to get in the habit of taking it with me when I go fishing. It was great to get out and hit the soft water today!
