Spent a few days earlier this week in Cache Valley for our Anniversary. Did a little fishing while we were wandering.
Hit Mantua - caught perch, gills, sunfish - midday all caught on pugly perch bugs and Pats tiny 1/16 jigs tipped with worms. Fished the rocky dike area around the outlet.
Hit the Porky - caught rainbows on jakes lures. Silver with red dots on about a 3-5 second count down and retrieve. Fished the water fall inlet area.
Hit - Hyrum. Caught a few perch on pugly perch bugs tipped with a worm. Ran on a drop shot about 6" off the bottom. Fished the south end of the dam area.
Hit Newton - caught LMB and perch on pugly perch bugs and Wookie bugs fished on a drop shot. Fished anywhere we could find a weedline break to open water.
While we caught fish everywhere we tried, the fishing I would rate as very slow for June. This is normally a killer time to toss our pugly bugs and plastics at panfish and bass, but the bite was off. I can guess the reason was three fold: pressure changes, wind, power squad churning. Oh and we did not fish prime time morning - cause - well heck - it was our anniversary guys - mind your own business
