Not Mild, Not Medium, but Spicy Hot at Hyrum, 1-15

[gaardvark]

I was able to talk my wife into going out with me and we took our 8 yo daughter. We didn't get there until around 10, maybe with lines in by 10:30. We were in 34 fow, and frequently marked fish, but the bite wasn't amazing. I suspect I'd have caught more alone, but the company was well worth it. We caught enough to keep it interesting, and not so many we got bored.
I fished a Hali jigging spoon and my wife and daughter each used tungsten jigs. Both worked about equally tipped with night crawler or a perch eye.
We were there until my daughter stepped in a hole and soaked her boots. It didn't last long after that.
The tent got its second use today, and it was just the ticket to get my wife out there. She hasn't had a license for years. Altogether, we probably landed 25-30 between us, and took 16 home for dinner.
It was a beautiful day, with fantastic weather, good company and fast fishing.
I did pull one up that was coughing up its lunch. I was a little surprised to see the size of perchlet it had eaten. None of them appeared to have any significant stomach content on the fillet board.
Speaking of fillets, I saved the eggs to feed to chickens, and had as much egg as meat. Lots of eggs in those perch.
