Early Morning Rainbows on Deer Creek June 7th, 2014

Saturday, June 7th at dawn saw me, Mortensen, and an undisclosed mini-Mortensen--he would not sign the blog waiver for public viewing--on Deer Creek Reservoir. The Rainbows were running a little deeper in the SPOT patter image below.  We were picking them up between 30-40 feet of water on pop gear weighted with 3/4 to 1.5oz. egg sinkers.  The water temperature was between 60-63F and the fishing was hot.  By 11AM all three of us had our limit of four nice fat Bows!  Below is the video and some images.  Enjoy!

During my off-Friday, the Rainbows were "on"!  A friend from work and I went early to Deer Creek.  We followed the path shown on the SPOT map below and each limited.  Well, actually the guy I was fishing with caught six and I caught two.  Still, it was fantastic fishing!  We got on the water at 6:30am and we were done by 11am.  My friend was using a Rainbow Panther Martin with about 1/2oz weight.  I tried about everything in my tackle box, but caught one on the same size number two brown trout crank bait.  I caught the other one on a purple body, red blade spinner weighted with a 1/2oz egg sinker.  The fish were hanging in the line on the SPOT map at about 20-40ft.  The water temperature was 56-58F.
