Echo - Slow and Stocked

[dubob]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]My last 2 trips to Echo were in late September/Early October before the courtesy docks were removed. Both trips we boated well over 30 fish and lost a few more. It was on fire then and a recent report (Nov) from a friend of mine said the same thing. I fished Rockport last week using the same tackle I used on Echo and we boated 37 trout and kept 8 between 14 and 17.5 inches.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I know pop gear and a worm on lead core line is a very old traditional way to fish for trout in Utah. But I haven't used that in about 20 years and don't ever have any problems catching all the trout I can handle. Here is a picture of one of the hot lure set-ups I used at both Echo and Rockport.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I fished it 50 feet behind the boat and at a depth of 5 to 10 feet down off downriggers. The second best lure was an Apex size A2 (1 1/2") in pink haze u.v.[/size][/#800000][/font]
