I fished Scofield today from my kick boat. I fished the southeast end of the reservoir. The reservoir is still about 90% covered with ice, but with the large cracks and quite a bit of open water at each end, it won't be long before it comes off. The water temp. was 42-43 degrees and you could only see about one foot in the water. The pictures should answer some of the questions about ice conditions. The fishing was slow with one tiger and eight cutthroats caught and a few others that just flipped me off. All of the fish were under 16" long. I fished with fly tackle using a slow sinking line (#2) and size 4 crystal buggers. The reservoir is at 29% capacity (it was at 49% this time last year).
