So I've been watching Hyrum, Mantua and Willard this week only seen about two people fishing on them.... I know Strawberry is getting into the glory season and the gorge has more ice than I can remember, bear lake has ice for the second time in seven years and so where is everyone going? Or is ice fishing over for most of you by now?
Was down to Smith and Edwards yesterday hoping to get some ice season close outs and nothing was on sale yet. They said due to the new storm and cold weather lately they had decided to delay the season close out of gear... So I bought the rod at full price since I'm hoping to get one more crack at big blue before I'm done... What's your plans??? Later J
Anyone else bought some of those Jason Mitchell Mack Rods by Clam? I got one a couple weeks back and love it for Bear Lake, and since I hate tying on lures when I can't see or feel my fingers, I like to have a couple rods ready to fish, so I talked myself into getting another one... 45" XH it's as stiff as they come but really helps setting a hook when you're down deep... I always like to have a couple different options to try in case the fish don't like what I want to feed them... I've really had a tough time finding a tube jig that the trout like this year, so it's nice to have four options ready to try each trip... Anyway I'll quit justifying my splurge... Later J
