Fished 11 mile on Sunday at Cross Creek. Iced 6 Rainbows and 1 Pike. Pike was 24". Lost 3 other bows, two at the hole and one break off. Seen 4 other pike cruise through the hole. Was fishing in 6ft of water. Water clarity is still pretty cloudy. Ice about 12". Highlight of the day was my personal best rainbow to date. 24", 5lbs. Pics to come....

Sounds like a great day on the mile. Congrats on the PB rainbow and thanks for the report.

Congratulations on the PB rainbow. It is a lot of fun to catch a trout that big and land it through the ice.

Awesome job on the big rainbow. I haven't fished the mile in years. Sounds like it is dong well!

Sounds like shallow is the ticket.

Thanks for the report.

Great fish! I am thinking of making the trek down there on Thursday for a few days. Never been there before. You fishin Thursday or Friday? Would love a little help on areas to hit. Thanks

Beautiful Rainbow! Wish I was there to see it in person.

Nice fish. The wife and I used to fish Eleven Mile all the time, really miss it since moving to the other side of the state.

Nice fish! Looks like it could be a cutbow.

Mission accomplished, soldier. Niiiiiiice fish, tastee too I'll bet.

I love the taste of trout. Especially when they are caught through the ice. Hard to beat grilled trout......that is unless we are talking about pan fried walleye.... then it is just a whole new sport let alone league.

I like the way you're thinking!

looks like a rainbow to me. Cutbow would have a reddish colored gill plate

trout_hunter · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 07:31 PM »

Could go either way, looks like a little slash under the jaw that would give the nod to a little cutty in it. Regardless its a great looking fish.

CavScout · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 08:14 PM »

I've caught a couple of cutbows before. I do believe that this one was just a rainbow. That is unless they can be something along the lines of 1/4 cutbow and 3/4 rainbow. definitely not a 50/50 fish

They are really common in my old stomping grounds in south east idaho ( henry's lake, and south fork of the snake river). Ive seen them all the way from barely having the slash to cutty colors but with the red band down the side like a rainbow. It really varies. Regardless of pure strain or not thats one to be proud of.

Cavscout I agree with you trout is great. This is the 26 inch 6 pound rainbow we caught last year and it was by far the best fish I've ever eaten. Even had a little sushi and I don't think I can ever beat it!

CavScout · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 09:08 AM »

Very nice!

Hambone77 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 07:17 PM »

Oh man, I wish I hadn't seen that right before dinner. My mouth is watering.

Hambone77 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 07:22 PM »

Cavscout, looking a little closer I did notice the small slash. I think you are correct in saying 1/4 cut and 3/4 rainbow. Either way that is one check of a fish. Congrats!

Nice fish man. Haven't fished up there in years..... Probably time to go back!
