Wiper repellant

Im starting to wonder if that label i was jokingly given last year might be true. i have seen plenty of wipers caught this year already but i have not mustered a single one and today was no different. me and alanna only went out for about and hour but once again not a single one. i did muster a small smallie and alanna came acrossed about a 4ft bull snake on the dirt road, which freaked her the hell out. the season is really just getting started so i still got time for some redemption.

Ice Off

Finally happened on the berry. myself, pat, dbone, thad and his son jake met up at a gas station to top off and get some snacks. we then made the hour drive to the res. it rained for about the 1st hour with a few fish being caught. after a couple hours me and pat parted ways with the rest of the group and headed to the west side and it was slow till almost 2pm and then it got almost stupid. the bite was on. unfortunately the wind picked up at that point and made the casting awefully tough. once the bite kind of slowed down we decided to call it a day. its the 1st time ive seen/fished with pat in about a 1/2 dozen years so it was good to kind of catch up and catch some fish together.

And the bite is on

well, kind of. i finally saw a few wipers the other day and they were some beauts. of course none of which i caught, only a couple more smallies for me. been getting after them quite a bit now

A smallie evening

hit willard with my daughter for about an hour. first 30 minutes or so i landed 3 smallies. bot my intended target but i was happy none the less.

Recon and then some

I took my little one out for a little recon to see if the berry had any fishable water. it had very little and what open water there was you could pretty much walk out there and touch the ice shelf. i fished for about 30 minutes and luckily stumbled upon one solid cuttie. we took a drive all over the lake looking for more open water but there just wasnt hardly any to be found. after we got home i took a drive out to willard since the weather was nice and mustered up 1 smallie

Low and off color

Was the water conditions this day. out for about an hour and mustered one fish and lost another.

Lost Creek

Drove over to the res for a few hours. had a few real nice follows but only came away with 1 small rainbow. i then drove to the river to fish a small section. the clarity got worse. i moved a couple but didnt catch shit. the end

The Ponds....

....sucked! but i dont swing by to take a look at the pinnacles area. 1st time ive driven back there after the fire and flash flood from last year

A new spin rod

Got my little one a new spin rod so we took it for a test drive at the river and the lake. sadly she did not hook any fish. i was able to get one from the lake

Kid free

my youngest daughter was being babysat by my oldest daughter so after running around i went to the river for about an hour and a 1/2. the flows came down a little and the water cleared up some, still a bit dirty but fishable with a streamer. got into a decent amount of fish

Took the day off

My daughter had a layover in SLC and was supposed to get here at 9am and i was gonna head straight to the water after our visit but her flight changed and she didnt get here till 2pm. i went ahead and took the day off and went fishing before going to see my daughter. the fishing was kind

of blah. saw a bunch of fish but only landed smaller ones
