Mud Lake report new years day. - chrome_junky - 01-01-2015
Don't give up on her yet! I'm still on the ice as I right this report. I'm getting ready to pack it up for the day. I fished solo and I arrived at the lake right at first light. The sunrise coming up behind the Tetons was amazing.. My rig said the temp outside was -14. I knew not being in a hut was going to be short lived so I spent the first hour just punching holes looking for where I thought the perch would hold. Once I found the spot and what they wanted to eat, it was a steady bite till 1pm. I ended up keeping 25. I had to keep Some of the little 4 and 5 inchers because the hooks tore them up really bad. I ended up with 10 at 6 inches, 4 at eight inches and one 9 inch fish. I lost the three biggest fish I hooked today right in the hole. Two of the lost fish looked to be about 10 inches and the other was an absolute monster. Think cascade perch! which I never expected to see in this lake. I probably released just as many little ones as I kept. They aren't cascade fish but they definitely aren't Roberts gravel pond fish and I'll take that any day.
PM me for specifics on what I used and how I found the fish. Pictures included below!

I forgot to mention I was the only person on the lake all day. Nobody even drove by. I don't think I'll ever be able to make that claim again.

Glad to hear its producing something finally. Not sure I'll be able to get up there this year looking at my schedule, but maybe by next year some of those 4-6 inchers will be more like 8-10.

What is the water depth of Mud lake now. Last time I was there I remember it only being around 3 ft or so.

Good to see fish from there. I tried it last year and found only 3 ft of water and a skunk. How deep was the water? Where did you find them?
