Starvation, No. Deer Creek, Yes. Thursday pulling out of the garage and it starts raining. I pick up Shifty and we head East. As we topped out on the summit we could see slivers of blue sky and we drove on. We arrived at Starvation at sunrise and the views were spectacular. However the wind was howling and swells were in the 3-4 foot range, so we decided not to fight them. We headed for the front, passing thru Strawberry and the wind had it swelling and white capping, we got to Heber and the rain and snow mixture was still happening. Deciding to go to see how Deer Creek looked, we were excited to see glass. The rain was coming down consistently but not hard and the lake was glass and it stayed that way until 4 pm.
We launched at 9:30 and started up Wallsburg leg, got nothing. We pulled up the trolling motor and headed for the cliffs, we trolled it and got nothing and went thru island bay and over to white rocks changing from 1.5 to 2.0 mph and still nothing. Shifty had to get in a few cast for bass and that resulted in, nothing! We fished for hours and didn't so much as get a sniff.
We pulled down into the Island bay and I decided to go straight out to the point, but this time we were going to cruise at 2.5 mph something I don't do often, if at all, but we had to change up something and the only thing we hadn't done is jump our speed up. We started this path at 1:00 by 1:30 we had a limit of 8 Rainbow trout to the boat.
We ended up with 18 Rainbow trout in the boat and the kicker bonus of a nice Walleye in the boat. We missed or LDR'd another 10 or more fish. For 3 hours we were on fire and the action was fun. Lesson of the day, change to something totally outside of the norm to make them hit.
