i made a trip east friday with a new friend that that i was introduced to by one of my regular fishing partners. we met in morgan between 430 and 5 hoping to be on the ice at steineker by 8. didn't quite work by the time we got to coalville it was snowing pretty good and slowed our progress. we made it just passed strawberry in time to see a car coming the other way slide off the road and roll. we stopped and helped the young lady out of her car she was unharmed but pretty shook up. we loaded her up with us and headed toward duchene to get phone service and make the needed phone calls her sister was to meet us at the gas station but she wasn't there and we couldn't get ahold of her again so we took her to her house. we finally got on the ice at the crack of 10 the first couple holes were silent. on about the fourth try we got into some fish iced some nice bows the largest going 17 in. then i struck gold my first golden trout alot cooler than a golden bonefish it took a couple hours and we had our limit. headed for pelican not so lucky there covered alot of ice and couldn't get a bite my first skunk on pelican[frown] but all in all a great day on the ice and we even saw the sun in vernal i think that has been missing for a while.
