I've hit a few lakes with the family primarily for them to take pictures -- but of course I brought the pole along.
The highlight was probably Scofield.... shore tangled there for about two hours by the dam. The first hour I fought in six trouts.,.. three around 12", but two were 14" and one was a very nice 16".... very nice for a shore cast anyway. I put them all back and was kicking myself for not having MY camera with me when the big-un came in.
The second hour I was left standing on the shore. Boy did that bite just turn off.
A long lunch at Utah Lake and the Whites were hitting hard... another 6 10-12" clones.... and a few other tiny ones. I kept some for fish tacos -- but they were skinny fish. Those who really like catching white bass need to go thin that heard... they looked starved. And that was some fast fishing.
I ended up at American Fork canyon this evening. Pulled a couple of 12"-ish trout out of the river and a bunch out of Tibblefork -- all released but one 14" for dinner tomorrow.
I have a couple of boat trips planned for late week and weekend. Hopefully the success rate will continue and the size will increase with access to deeper water.
