On that afternoon the remaining floating ice, pushed by the NW wind, piled up on the SE shore.

Exactly where I caught the most back in Nov. Did mange that 1 rainbow, another on & lost, just north of that iced in area.

Never see anyone back there. Occasionally, a hiker, mtn. biker,……….

Once, a boat angler was just off the eastern shore drifting towards me. He started yelling something, but I couldn’t hear due to the wind / distance. Finally, I heard him, “Your wading / splashing is scaring all the damn fish!!!” I couldn’t believe it. I just shook my head.

He was going nuts, just as he passed me, when I hooked up to nice rainbow that came flying out of the water.

In Round Valley the rainbow trout are going to hold up in water that’s around 55 degrees. That’s a lot deeper in February than in November.

How do you guys fish your powerbait there? SLip sinker near the bottom? Could never figure how to rig for power bait in the deeper water (usually use shiners on slip bobbers)
