I caught 3 on curly tail grubs. Then after losing 20 jigs I started slip bobber rigging flathead minnows. They worked well until about 1:00 and then the boat traffic shut them down.
I liked Chaffield, the bottom had varried structure with many mid lake features. The area next to the dam has several humps and pocket holes that I know will hold fish. I graphed several large fish on the edges in deeper water, but no takers. I can see that I will have to break out the drift sock for afternoon fishing. The wind picks up like most western lakes. I think that in the next two weeks that we will have a shot at some bigger fish several days of higher temps will move the ladies.
There were 2 jet skis and many some wake boarders making tracks by the dam. I can only guess how bad it will be when the lake gets warmer. How's the night fishing? In Utah Deer Creek was the same. I only went mid week early or late in the day to avoid the crowds and on the weekends I only night fished or went to a cold water lakes. For my first time on the lake I enjoyed it. I didn't get down to the other end so I guess I will just have to go next week and check it out.
