This is a little late but thought I’d share the nice trip I had to the Berry (1/10/15). A friend and I decided Friday night to go down so I felt under prepared for the trip but was excited to go. We left Cache Valley at 4:00am and were on the lake fishing at 7:00. It was pretty slow for us in the early morning. I didnt mark anything on my flasher and I’ll be honest, I was to cold and lazy to move around for the first two hours. My friend put a nice slot cutthroat on the ice first and I soon followed with another cutt. We were fishing 18 FOW until about 11:00. We decided to move in and we fished in 7.5-10 FOW. I started picking up a lot more fish and I worked my tail off to get them. I found that the fish were holding tight to the bottom and they seemed to respond to short jigging strokes. I started noting that around 12:30 I’d pick up one fish and then another shortly after. I’d get a spurt of 3 fish in about 20 minutes then it would get slow for about 30 minutes. It was a lot of fun working so hard for the fish, I like that type of challenge. We walked off the lake at 4:00 with some bows for dinner. It was a fantastic day. The fish hit chub meat and meal worms, like I said they were hugging the bottom. I’d pound the the bottom with a heavier jig and that seemed to get the fish interested.
Nice report, glad it was worth the drive. Glad to see you have your “Ice Spikes”.
Nice fish! Glad you had a great day.
