Had to go today, as I saw we were supposed to have a little weather come in last nite and this A.M., and it did...so I was testing my Low barom. pressure fishing vs my Higher barom. pressure fishing days, like my last 2 trips out there...Snowing pretty good from Park City all the way there, then just lite flurries, cloudy, and wind most of the rest of the A.M. ......Results? I'd say very good fishing from 0930 to 1200, when the skies all cleared up (but not the wind, that kept up 'til we left)...I iced 5, 18-20"ers lost 2 reeling in, and missed about 5 more lite hits....My friend (not DuBob today) iced 2, all releasers, and also missed a few hits...31 FOW...
Then when the skies cleared ?? The bite stopped...still 'seeing' fish ...changing lures, bait, holes, etc. but then just not in a biting mood any more...I thought the bite might start up again around 1:30 or 2:00, and I got 1 more bite at 2:00, and got that one more nice cutt, but that was it...1 bite between the 2 of us from 12:00 to 3:00 in the sunny conditions...Not very scientific, but the next time I go again, it'll be on a day we're expecting clouds/maybe snow, like this morning...For Info...ice was 20", 3" new snow, snowmobilers no problem out there, didn't see any ATV's, but surface where we were was solid under the new snow...Guluk...
