Highway 31 tour and then some...
We took off for Fairview canyon to see what was a available. When we got to the top it still has plenty of snow. All the lake are still pretty well capped but I bet by the end of this week they will be pretty well open. Electric was very near breaking up, Cleveland actually had some open on the banks and some folks were giving it a shot. I don't know the lake just north of Cleveland but it was capped. We headed south down the canyon tried the stream for a while needed our fly rods for the upper stretch where you could actually see them, we just watched and thought DUMBA**** should of packed the flies. Anyhow ended up on Huntington Res. fished for probably 3-4 hours with no luck threw everything at them. A guy in a boat pulled up close and asked if we had had any luck? Nope. He then told us he hadn't seen a fish on his finder all the way around the res. but said the water was 57*. We fished for a short time more and figured we had reached maximum insanity....you know when you do the same again and again hoping hoping for different result.....yep we had maxed it out. We took off went back up 31 and turned off onto 264 and went to Scofield, all the small lakes and ponds were still capped Fairview Lakes were still capped as well as being snowed in yet, seen the upper end of Electric and seen a little open water there and again a few hardy souls had walked into it and were fishing the 20' hole at the creek. Went by Scofield the wind was whipping pretty good seen a few out trying their best we kept going. No fish, good idea when water will be open now, so a half way productive day.
