After dodging and weaving a big ol’ herd of elk and a big ol’ flock of sage grouse on highway 72, arrived at Dr.’s Creek about 7:40.. Walked out to about 80’ deep and set-up shop.. Didn’t mark too much all day there, high or low.. caught one rainbow there.. the fish I did mark, would come up to my bait and look and take off, changed gear and bait all day there and didn’t help much at all.. gets the juices flowing seeing a big mark coming up to ur gear in the bottom, never sure what it could be! Fished that spot until about 12, decided to move in for some perch to bring home and fry, if u get the chance fillet them and get this Louisiana breading they have at Walmart or smiths for catfish, pretty good on the perch too.. but moved in to 40’ of water and as soon as my jig hit the weeds, it stirred-up the hornets nest! It was perch after perch, good sized ones too.. ended up with about 30 perch in an hour and a half, throw in some rainbows, splake, and yes, even a Mac puppy! All trout were released, only perch were harmed in this trip! Did notice that when a bigger mark came threw while fishing for perch, the perch would disappear for a bit, but would be right back after the bigger mark was gone.. wish I had a camera too see what the activity was like down there when that happens.. anyway, good day for perch, not so good for trout..
