Echo 2/9/03

So, I’m over half of the way through my monday and I realize that I didn’t share the details of my trip to Echo on sunday. Here it is..got to the reservoir about 8:30 and went out from the boat ramp about 180 yards. The water was about 30 ft deep (estimating here) and the fishing was fast for smaller/average size perch (right on the bottom). Another buddy showed up with his kids and we humped it all the way to the other side by I-80 (15 ft deep). Fishing was slow and yielded no perch and 2 slimers. Hiked back to about 2/3rds the way from the boat ramp to the I-80 shore (25 ft deep) and the fishing was on. Average size perch (7"-8"=) on the bottom about as fast as you could get your line down, and rainbows suspended at about 12 ft. I even hooked a few of the larger perch that were pushing 10"+.When we were all out of bait (2:00pm), we called it a day.

Glow in the dark #10 demon or equal tipped with wax or meal worms. (medium splitshot 12" from jig to get it to the bottom quick)

Thanks for the head up Ram4x. Sounds like you guys had a great time fishin. Good luck next time as well.

Thanks for the report . My buddy is hope to get me out to punch more holes in the ice .(I thought I was hanging it up HEHE ) I like perch to eat better then slimers , may have to get out next weekend . ice thickness would be great to know . thanks tight lines

Thanks again . I was hoping to get some info on some perch water . Was hoping for some reports on Pineview . Hopefully the ice hold on this week .
