Pelican Lake Is On

[Kayote]

FYI. I have been at Pelican Lake every day this week. The largemouth are in shallow and on beds all over the lake. The bluegill just showed up in good numbers today on the north side. I found large schools of cruisers in shallow and they can be a little tough to catch. I did find huge hens on beds on the mid lake reed islands. It will just get better from here as the gills settle in. Beautiful sunny calm conditions. Better late than never. Go get em.....

Good Fishing, Kayote

Thanks Kayote. [] I was thinking about going next week but I'm not sure how to handle Sparky. Bud was big enough to stay in the shallows and a good enough swimmer to swim with me most of the day but Sparky isn't that good and is much smaller. He would hang with me if I could wade in the shallows. Would the fishing in the shallows on the west and south west be amenable to fishing with Sparky. I can't leave him and need to keep track of him because there are a lot of folks out there that would like to have him, he's too friendly and much too valuable to me. I'd probably curl up and die if something happened.[unsure]

Great report, Mr. Kayote. I've been waiting for news on this little gem in the Basin, because me likes Pelican.

I have a few questions for you: What's the water level like out there? Has Pelican benefitted from the plentiful moisture that Utah has received this year? Is the water level higher this year than in the past several drought years?

Last fall when I was there in mid October, I couldn't believe how low it was. It seems like I had to paddle my 14' aluminum boat out from the high-and-dry concrete boat ramp for nearly 100 yards before it was deep enough for me to even drop the motor.

I know it begins filling from piped-in water in November, I believe, but beyond that water, has it filled significantly from rain, snow, runoff, etc.? It would be nice to think that it may stay a little fuller this year throughout the summer and even into the fall.
