No traps to check so I've been fishing with a buddy. I like ice fishing. But it's been a mild winter here and no safe ice on our lower lakes yet. We went to Flaming Gorge to fish from the bank last Friday and again yesterday. Fishing is great! We caught over 60 rainbows both times. My buddy caught a nice lake trout Friday and I caught a nice one yesterday. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/01/full-20111-244090-fishing2.jpg) My buddy and I both with fish at the same time. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/01/full-20111-244092-fishing3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/01/full-20111-244093-fishing4.jpg) Crystal clear water, breathtaking scenery and excellent fishing. Heaven hugs - God is great.
United we stand.

Nice. Looks like you're using Marabou jig's. Did you ever try minnow crankbaits like Yozuri? The water is cold and they may be a bit sluggish for crankbaits. We had to downsize too small tubes (2 inch - hard to find for some reason) and marabou jigs. They wouldn't hit spoons or bigger tubes or plastic swimbaits. Crankbaits work well in warmer weather though.

I guess you may not be aware I have a fishing lure addiction and I don't have those. Yet.
