Cisco Disco Advice Needed

[Kent]

That is very helpful advice thank you! I might have access to a small canoe, but would that be too dangerous/too much work in the freezing temps? Do you use a fish finder to locate the schools, or are they pretty much everywhere?

Thanks again!

I believe a small canoe would be too dangerous for netting or snagging cisco.  The water is either frozen or close to freezing temperatures in January, when the cisco spawn.  Ideally, the lake is frozen enough that one can stand on the ice and net them through a large hole in the ice.  Netting is done in really shallow water so one visually sees the cisco and nets them.  Netting works where there is a rocky shoreline (Cisco Beach and the Utah State Marina are the most popular areas).  If one is snagging them (in deeper water) a fish finder is helpful in locating a school.
