Finally! Ice off at Scofield






So after Matt and I heard that there was some fishable water at Scofield, we made plans to go down the next day. We got there around 5 in the afternoon and started fishing. Right away I caught 3 rainbows in about 30 minutes, and saw a pretty big tiger trout follow my lure in. There werent that big, but still fun to catch. Then we left and to go explore the rest of the lake. We took a road that led nowhere, but finally reached another good spot where the ice was about 20-30 feet off the shore. We caught a bunch more there including matt's huge crawdad. Hilarious! We moved to a different section of the bank as the sun was going down and started to catch fish almost every other cast. We kept a few for dinner and overall it was a very fun trip. Nothing huge, but a lot of fish. We ended up catching three different species including rainbows, cuttthroats, and i caught a Utah Chub(the gold looking fish). I guess four if we include the crawdad.

  1. Nice fishing! I love the variety of fish you caught, especially the Utah Chub and the large Crawdad. But what is up with Matt's gloves? Is that so you don't get blisters on your hand from the rod? Or are you afraid to touch the fish? Only hardcore fisherman take construction gloves fishing!

    Sounds like you had a great time. Those pictures are great.
