Fishing

I Went to Rabbit Gulch on Starvy and tried perchin for a couple of days.
There were plenty of perch to be had, but lots of bitty ones. About a ten to one ratio.
I Caught one nice trout and zero on the wallys. I talked to some folks who had caught some wallys, but they were all on the smallish size.

Glad you got to get over there. Sorry the fish weren't more cooperative. You needed a better guide.

We are lookin' at hittin' it again about mid week next week.

My fuel pump went out coming down the canyon from Strawberry, so I'm out of commission until I get it fixed,
I seem to have bad luck going to Starvation for some reason or other, or maybe my run of bad luck is over now. If I am up and running, I will send you a PM.

My home-made lures worked excellent for the perch. Many thanks to your wire twisting lessons,

I did get a glimpse of one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen. I went to get my camera and my batteries were dead from being out in the sun.

All-in-all it was a good trip and I learned some things. That's what fishing is all about.

Its time to get out the panko and have perch and chips.

Good to hear you caught some fish, even if no eyes were caught. We missed you at the DAV event.

I saw the same sunset, and you're right. It was one to remember. Hope you can hook up some walleye next time you make it out.


In my world all fish are created equal. EXCEPT WALLEYE

Hey FOD, we haven't heard from you in a while. You still fishing Starv a lot?

Not really. I stay away from the summer crowds out there now. I did have a couple good days there this year though. I always want to be there. Sometimes work gets in the way.

Glad the fish voted for your new trinkets. I have a few more new things and some refinements on older models I am anxious to try.

Starvation must be a jinx...for both of us. About 3 years ago my wife and I were on our way back from a great walleye trip and the car started making ominous noises. I slowed down and tried to baby it home. Didn't work. The engine threw a rod through the block going up the hill between Heber and Jordanelle. Big towing bill. Even bigger bill to replace the engine.

Yes, I was going to offer my corn services again at the DAV when I got back, if they wanted it ........ Then I lost my wheels so I didn't make it ..... I missed all the fun.

Although a fuel pump is expensive, I'm glad mine was not a rod.

I somehow thought that the little perch would not chase some of my bigger trinkets, but I was wrong.
With all the beads, colors and whirlys, one would think they would frighten the smaller fish .......Not!

Last year I caught two 6" perch on the same 5" crankbait...at the same time. Deerickulous.

And I have caught some of my nicest (over 20") walleyes on small jigs.

Knocks the heck out of that big bait big fish theory.
