salters lake, fishing in a blizzard 22,02,12

[BGSH]

Well woke up and got another text message and guess what it said, lets go fishing, i said lets go, let me take a shower and i will pick you up in 30, first stop was wholesale where they were very helpful :), needed help finding the worms as i usually do not use bait, then off we went, got there rather late around 10:30am, most of the time it was windy and very snowy, whiteout conditions, there was a fellow fly fishing and catching them left and right, we caught somewhere around 20 and the biggest was 15 inches, i lost one around 18 inches though, it was really cool fishing in a blizzard...

The water was think enough to fish as far back as we were, we released the fish in holes all ready drilled in holes.

Must have been one skinny storm.
I live about 15 minutes west of there and we got about 8 flakes all day.
