Visited Hog Canyon for the first time looking to catch some bullheads after the most recent report. No luck. Tough fishing. Beautiful area though. Wasted time and gas having forgotten my Discovery...

Trout weren't biting spoons.

Made a driveby of Silver after the skunk at Medical. Two families out in force, but looks like nobody having any luck. Water visibility was better. Cold. Was curious to see if the bluegill were st...

Ate skunk although I didn't try long. Rain, wind and hail at times. Saw a few anglers - didn't seem like anybody was catching. Poor visibility.

Thought I'd take a look-see at how Fish Lake is after the season opened. Not quite combat fishing, but close. Floating fishing pier isn't out in the water yet. Lots of shore fisherpeople and trolle...

Hit the lake in the drizzle and cold. Muskrats aplenty splashing around all over the place. Had to work for the fish.
Selective gear.
Didn't start getting bites until late afternoon. 4 hookup...

Harder fishing today. 3 discouraging follows with little interest. Didn't hook up until late into the afternoon, then two in rapid succession.
Bigger fish today and the largest of my 2011 season...

Fished open water.
Selective-gear
Two healthy hard-fighting browns in short order- 15" & 17"
Retained my limit of 2 over 14", so it cut my fishing trip way short. Started to rain anyways and...

Was in the area, so I thought I'd try the ice on Newman.
First off, I didn't realize what a shady public launch it was; Red pickup hanging out on the launch watching me on the ice - thought he ei...

Since there's no afternoon bite (or less of one) at Silver, thought I'd hit up Horseshoe for the first time to satisfy my curiosity, and see if I couldn't get some bullheads or trout. Kitt's Rd is op...

Ice was 8-12"+ but slick.
Biggest group of ...

Got to Eloika public launch at ~0930. Met a pair of Russian anglers who were leaving early due to "no fish." I wonder if it was because they were fishing the shallow south end and their ice breaker ...
