I was able to go out to Hyrum today and fished from 9:30 till 3:30. The new ice that recovered the thawed ice is only about 2 1/2" to 3" deep. It was a little scary. When you would drill your hole, you could hear all of the ice making sounds over what seemed the whole lake. There was another guy there that fished with me and instead of dying for trout, we just sat on the dock and fished. The fishing was definately slow, but it was fun.
I had about ten bites, and so did the other guy. He was able to reel in 3 trout, and I got two. There were fish suspended underneath the dock all over but the fishin' buddy didn't show much on the sidefinder at all. We were using green, orange, and rainbow powerbait. Also airplane jigs, rat finkee's, and a glow in the dark jig.
There were two other groups on the ice but I'm not sure how they did. A couple of crazy guys fished on the two inch stuff, but the sounds of the ice scared them off for home in about 20 minutes. Good to be out though!!!!!!!!
