On chain right now

[Ryanf]

Hey all just drilled a few holes out on chain (west of nanton) I noticed its quit dirty water conditions. I have lots of fishing experience but not much as far as it comes to trout in a lake at this time of year. Any advice as far as depths ect would be greatly appreciated

Was thinking of bringing the kids out tomorrow....

we were the walk outs just north of you,, there was a truck on the ices edge, we were the next people. Bite started at 3. 12 fow an inch off the bottom.

To the op; the water was murky and I got more hits at 12 feet and at 10, but nary a hit at 16. I have a feeling this is why they were hitting in my light coloured mealworms and not the darker ones. My dad was using corn and ventured to a distant spot on the west side and had very steady action in 8 fow. It never hurts to have your bait below a willowleaf or something sparkly.

Lucky Elephant pink popcorn was my Chain Lakes Hard Water bait for 20 years.

Whatever the fish did not eat-my kids took care of the rest
