Ira, Randy and I fished Fish Lake yesterday. We parked at Doctor Creek and hiked over to the east side.
Ira was going for macks so he started off in 94 feet of water. He never moved all day. He landed a 22" mack and lost a larger one. Occasionally, he would catch a rainbow or splake to add a little interest to his day.
Randy and I moved on and set up in 65' of water. For a good portion of the day, we both fished a rod on the bottom for macks (no luck for either of us) and fished another rod for splake and rainbows. Randy caught 15, which included one pup mack. I caught around a dozen, which were all splake except for 11 of them (assuming I caught a total of 12). Slow catching for Ira and me for Fish Lake.
Although I fished water as shallow as 12' I never caught a perch. Beautiful weather and great company.
