David,
What do you mean the weather is not cooperating? It's winter almost and if dressed appropriately is tolerable; we could be in Wisconsin chipping ice. [cool] It was butt cold Saturday morning at 6.
More of a depth and rock type than any specific color. I fished around Saddle, Three Finger, and Upper Gypsum Wash areas Saturday. The bass were just not on the conglomerate rock. There were some shad in 3 finger cove. There is still plenty of algae left in that area, but for some reason couldn't connect with largemouths. I am beginning to concentrate on clearer water, basalt chunk rock at 45° slope in depths from 30 to 50 ft. Sunny banks. Water temp dropping fast; today was 57.8. Yesterday was 58.6. For you with the small boat, fishing with big trout swimbaits around Saddle and Pumphouse in the mornings and evenings might get you a big striper. Guides are taking clients there and catching.
