Cookie and the Cowboy have been absent from these pages for a while. Mostly due to us hosting a foreign exchange student for the year. She kept us real busy.. Love her dearly but our time was up and she flew back to Italy last week so we are ready to get our fishing game on again.
First run was Rockport to see if the smallmouth have woke up. Water levels at Echo and Rockport are at the top of the spillway and flooded back into the inlet willows. Those high levels will sure be good for the young lings trying to hide from predators. We picked up a few smallies at RP bouncing ned rigs and pugly bugs, but it was not hot yet. I did not have my sonar but would guess run off water temps were still a bit cool to have them really going. Could not find perch in a few of our favorite spring spots but they will be there soon.
Likey hit Willard Tues morning and see about some cat fillets - or LC for some fresh chubs.
Question...I have to be in the Manti area next week for a conference. Other than fish lake and Koosharem, I have not really fished that area. Any suggestions for an afternoon drive and fish up in that area? I will have Buckwheat, and his wheelchair along. Any Fishlake reports?

Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew
