Starvation report

[markkstanley]

Starvation is one of the few reservoirs in Utah managed for walleye and perch. Headed up there 12/29 to see if we could ice some perch and perhaps locate a few eyes. No such luck. However Starvation is also noted for supporting rainbows of good size and some monster brown trout. Picked a good location off the map and we got into the trout in no time. Iced over 50 bows and one nice brown in 5 hours of fishing. Most fish were in the 3 to 4 lb range with a couple pushing 6 lb. Had my LX7 out for the first time and it was perfect. Loved be able to see the whole water column in the center and bottom 10ft on the right. We were fishing in 30 to 40ft depths and the trout were all over the water column. Caught them right off the bottom to less then 10ft under the ice. A good flasher is a must and the LX7 handled the situation. The LX5 is offically now a backup unit. Here's a pic of a typical fish for the day.
