Uinta Lake Trifecta

Saturday Parker and Jim joined me for a trip into the Uinta's to fish the high mountain lakes.  This is something we have wanted to do for sometime now and with the new ride we thought it would be a great trial to see how it would do.  Long story short the fishing was great and the return home was not so good, more will be said in "the rest of the story" segment.

Strawberry Late Season Ice Fishing

Thursday Jim and I went to Strawberry, to test run the new all-terrain I bought at the SLC ISE.  An eight wheeled all drive amphibious machine. Fishing happened too.

On The Ice at Mud Creek

March, 10 we tried our luck at Mud Creek on Strawberry Reservoir.  Mud Creek is usually one of the first waters to freeze over so we generally hit it early in the season and move out as the season goes. This year however with the ice coming on late the fishing at Mud Creek has continued to be productive. We set out early and got to the launch by sunrise and we readied our gear for the trek.  We unloaded the four wheeler and made our way down the bank to the ice.  We got on it and found a crust with about 6 inches of corn under it so we felt okay to venture as far as we wanted to. We did just that, we drilled 20 plus holes before locating them just outside the bay. We tested the water column by setting lines at different depths in each hole.  Once we located them we set camps and started catching them.

Deer Creek Trolling for Browns

Thursday March 8, 2018 I hooked up the Fish Steeler and went to Deer Creek with my friends Jim and Brandon.  We were quite early for launch so we headed to Heber got breakfast and came back to the State park launch. Sunrise we were on the water and it was cold, 27 degrees, the water temp was 33 degrees. We found chunks of ice throughout the lake as we trolled, some of it was thick and pulled our baits to the surface.  Today we trolled hard baits for the day; Purple descents, Fire sunrise, and purple tigers were our go to's but we tried everything in the box from pink flat fish to brown trout rap's.
