Hit scofeild this morning, another 50 fish day, if you want to call them fish, babies maybe, this is the 4th trip this year to scofeild, all over 50 fish days, but its time to move on, it was fun while it lasted but catching sardines has began to bore me So I think I’ll say goodbye to scofeild for the year, and concetrate on other lakes with better fish, Looking forward to Strawberry, Deer creek, Fish laKe and Paunguich lake, It has been fun working the bugs out of things an catching a ton of fish, but i just can’t seen to pull anything worth catching out of there, Now we just have to be patient while these other lakes thicken up a bit. I am really looking forward to having all these fish they have planted grow up, that will be fun. Scofeild is always my favorite lake to fish.
We fished schofield this morning also and caught 50+ if we include the 30 or so chubs. Some of the chubs were bigger and fought better than some than the cutt we caught. It will probably be our last trip up there also. We release all the chubs, but curious to know what others do with them.

We cut them up and use them to tip our jigs. Chub meat is as good as sucker meat and carp.
I should have tried that today. Does it work good for tigers at Schofield?
The reason why I asked was I remember years back fishing a lake in Southern Utah, I’ve seen guys catching chubs and throwing them on the road.
it works good for all fish try it you’ll like it
we dispose of all chubs immediatly, the dwr invests a ton of time to control them, why put turn them back when we are trying to get rid of them.
There’s no need to get rid of them, just to keep them in check. That’s why the new slot and the excess plantings of cutts and tigers. Once all the food is gone the predators will all remain small and skinny. Release any chubs you aren’t going to use as bait. More big tigers and cutts will result in the future. If jordanelle didn’t have a huge chub forage base it would never have developed into a trophy smallmouth water. It’s all about an ecological balance. And that is being created with the introduction of predatory fish.
Hey Darn0,
I fished in a group of four today on the SouthEast side (Miller’s Point) in 16 feet of water and we iced anywhere from 200-250 fish in a morning. We only iced 3 tigers. The rest were Cutts and Rainbows. I’m not sure if people are catching any more over towards the dam or not. Just for kicks, I tried catching fish on a variety of jigs and ended up catching fish on 12 different ones. The fishing is so fast there now that it almost gets boring. Still beats doing the ‘hunny-do-list’!
