Long weekend trip

[JBSPARKIE]

Sounds like a great trip. I will do the frezzer dance for ya to see if we can tighten up those edges for your trip.

Well Cowboypirate, your freezer dance did not work.

Arrived at Hyrum at 7 Saturday. Ice conditions horrible. No chance of getting on. So we headed up to birch creek. Hardly any snow on the dam. We made a test hike up to see if we could find a good trail to get the Snowdog up. I made a test run with empty sleds. Lets just say that there was no way we were going to get our gear up there let alone my 78 year old father. Just as I was making the scary return down the dam a DWR officer showed up. By this time it was about 11AM. He told us we were wasting our time with Birch creek as it has not been fishing well at all. He recommended we try Randolph Res.

So finally by 1PM we were fishing. . There were about 6 other groups on the lake when. The Ice was about 24". We were fishing in 12 FOW. It was consistent rainbows from 6" to 17" until we pulled out at 4:30. We had so much fun that we just decided to head back on Sunday for the day.

Got to Randolph Res about 7:30 as the roads were slick coming from Bear Lake. Another great day all day for our group of 5. We lost track but I am guessing it was a 60 fish per day trip for everyone. And we had the lake to our selves all day. Left the Lake at 4:30.

Headed out Monday morning for home. 2 of us stopped at Echo for a few hours of fishing as the other guys were exhausted. Got on the lake about 10:30. Fished until 2 PM as I was pushing my luck with the wife. Glad we stopped. Biggest fish of the season. Caught browns, rainbows, a Jumbo perch and a bunch of small perch. 2 of the rainbows were pushing 5lbs. I will text you a couple pictures as my corporate internet will not let me post or view pictures on this forum.
