The past couple weeks I went fishing at Scofield and Strawberry Reservoir. After catching 56 total fish the first trip of the season, we returned to Scofield the following week with my buddy Brandon. We caught several fish on the second trip. Brandon had only been fishing once or twice in his life but he seemed to have a lot of fun catching several fish! My only regret, not taking more pictures!
The following week Jason and I went to Strawberry Reservoir. We tried a new spot that we named Lunker Cove. This location was an instant success! We caught several large trout, including my very first Kokanee Salmon ever!
It is normal to catch several small rainbows at the berry, this trip however was full of nice, fat, healthy rainbows between 15-17inches long.
Besides catching the nice rainbows, we caught several good sized cutthroat trout as well!
Jason caught the biggest of the day with a 22" cutthroat.
When it comes to bait, I have the best success placing this glow in the dark Demon (by Custom Jigs and Spins) a foot or two above a small tube jig.
I caught the Kokanee Salmon on this Demon tipped with a small piece of worm.
The tube jig I prefer to use is this pan fish jig. The main body is white glow in the dark and has yellow/green tentacles. Simply place a small jig hook inside and tie it onto your line. To finish it off, place a small piece of worm on the tube jig. Believe it or not, the big fish will eat this as well as the small fish.
JOE'S TIP OF THE DAY
There are several baits you can use for ice fishing. From my experience, the baits that glow in the dark seem to work the best.
