[quote Kevin_VanDam]I don't think it ever slows down much...some people just know how to fish it better than others (eg. lite line, spring bobbers, small hooks, right spot, etc).[/quote]
Personally - I think that holds true for Hyrum - big lake, muddy bottom on much of it. But Mantua is such a weed-bed of a smaller, shallower pond - I do think that by later winter the detritus accumulates enough to lower the oxygenation levels and thus - reduce fish activity. (does that sound Mr Peabody enuf for ya?!)
Plus it gets hammered! Hyrum's pretty big, relatively speaking, and deep, so much of the time - don't know the fisheses even know we're tromping on top of em!
But you watch - the fishers will migrate to the inlets as season progresses - following the fishes to fresher water flows. (say THAT 10 times fast!)
