We spent the morning on Scofield fishing for Tiger trout and Cutthroat trout. We caught a number of fish again today not quite as fast and furious as the first couple days but still we caught a number of cutthroat trout. Tiger trout were not to be found today. We pulled the big sled out today and set it up along with our electronics. We have worked hard on figuring out our flasher and camera and feel we have a good working understanding of them now. The flasher works very well to indicate when a fish is swimming around our bait and we use the camera to zero in on the exact time the fish is hitting our lure/bait.
Today we were using white tube jigs tipped with meal worms and white paddle bugs tipped with meal and wax worms. The paddle bug was more productive than the tube jig, it being the smaller of the two lures. Remember as the season goes along the smaller the lure/bait the better. You must also have strike indicators for the majority of your strikes, fish do not slam your lures in the winter like they will in the summer, and the strike indicator will show slightest of bumps from the fish. The camera is also handy for that purpose to show you how they act and react to your presentation. The camera also shows you how the fish hits the lure to feel if it is edible. We were in 12 feet of water today and the fish were suspended at about eight to ten feet of water. The cutthroat trout were not huge by any means and we returned every fish caught. We are searching for that monster tiger trout that is in Scofield Reservoir, there have been a few caught in the teen’s weight category and that is what we are searching for. So we will return again later to look in a different area.
