the ling have slowed down on the blacks fork(gorge) any other spots workin good?

[moski]

i ve fished every other night on the blacks fork for ling, but it is getting slower is there any hot spots anywhere else you guys are nailing them?

[BottomDweller]

is the black's fork on the gorge?  if not, i have heard fishermen on the gorge are knocking 'em dead.  70-80 burbot nights, apparently.

[moski]

thanks bottomdweller, yea i meant the gorge ill have to fix that. i ve tried the big bends back on the blacks fork in mid dec. and we're killin them but the last few weeks have really slowed down, only 4 to 5 small ones, i guess ill try closer to buckboard if the ice is good!

Try fishing 5' of water or shallower . Drill your holes before dark . I here they are spawning shallow . I'll be testing that water tomorrow after I hook me a big brown tomorrow in Utah but going for macs , kokes and bows mainly at the Gorge . I'm not crazy about thick ice so I will be testing ice around Buckboard , I'll try to report from Green River motel via wireless from my laptop . Internet sometimes is slow there .

 try shallow thay are spawning in some areas it is wierd to me i thought thay didnt spawn till allmost ice out but today i read that in moveing water thay spawn soner would the water flow on the blfk and the green arms be moveing that much ? we have been geting some better ones near buckboard and just out from buckboard  thay have been comein from 2-30ft but the better fish have been in the 2-8ft depths maybe we are hurting them a little more too one can only hope .good luck kill a bunch .

 Moski, How was the ice @ Buckboard? Was sucker meat the bait of the day? If you don't mind me asking.
 
 Wyo Ice

[moski]

i would say about 8 to 9 inches , back in the cove thou i didn't go out on the mane part of the lake!

[Hellsangler]

I fish out by the river channel yesterday and it might have been 5" of ice . I found burbot 38' to 60' on bottom . I only hooked 8 , so I haven't found a hot spot yet .

That's just weird.

#1 Why were they so active during the day

#2 I can see them being in 60 fow but not suspended at 10 feet

#3 You caught 40....lol

That whole scenario doesn't fit anything of what I've been told about ling fishing.

 Hey Hellsangler, are you still fishing the gorge or are you back home?

Do you know if there is safe ice at big bend yet?

[Bigred1]

Big bend was frozen before buckboard bay.  I also saw an angler on the east side of the bend before it heads into Holmes crossing yesterday morning.

We fished the confluence and it was pretty slow.

[Hellsangler]

Hey Hellsangler, are you still fishing the gorge or are you back home?

Yes , one more try tomorrow . Lots of pup macks today . Ice is good just be careful around the big cracks .

hey buddy believe what you want but that's what happened and unless you go out and try to figure it out for yourself you wont catch them now wont ya?

[Hellsangler]

I been catching them in the daylight too . They seem to be everywhere . Macs have been running 45 to 50' down in 85 foot of water . Some on the bottom too . Bows running about 20' in the same water .

There was 8 inches of good clear ice on south end of big bend on the east bank over 100 feet of water in the channel, but we could see openwater a few miles below that from the hill tops on east side of the gorge, probably open somewhere around Anvil yet. Water clear ice is spookey even though strong. I think the fish think so too. It was letting in a lot of light.
