Crystal Basin troll (UVR)

Even compared to last year the snow cover on the Crystal Range is looking sparse. Late in the day with nary a bump I switched from rapalas and pointers to a 3/4 ounce spoon and quickly hooked three small macks, around 20 inches. One gets bonked due to taking the hook deep.

Thanks for the report. That's an awesome place to fish.

Thanks for the report!  I've been wanting to head up that way lately.  How deep were you fishing? In front of the dam? 

I trolled the southern shoreline down 4 to 5 colors lead core (about 35 feet) where there were sonar marks hugging the bottom between 30 and 40 feet that I thought might be macks. Just a greenhorn at mack fishing hoping to get lucky.

Nice day for a troll! Glad to see you finally signed up
