Your post pretty much somes up what I did yesterday. We fished Devils from 8-12 and then Deep from 1-4:30. I think the blizzard did slow down our catch rate but we had consitent action for 13-14" rainbows with a few bigger fish mixed in. I was impressed with the quality and health of the fish in what are supposed to be put and take fisheries. It sounds like we caught them on pretty much the same think. A 1/16 oz hand tied pink jig with flashabou and rubber legs did the best with anything in chartruese coming in second.
I have never had so much bad luck snapping off the bigger fish. Sometimes they would snap running against the ice other times my son would tangle the line on his spring bobber etc... over the course of the day we managed to lose some pretty impressive fish. Overall we had a great day. We topped it off by soaking at lava on the way home.
