Three of us left for the Gorge at a little after 11am and arrived at Firehole a little after 2pm. There were already three huts on the ice but few had caught any fish, the ones that had, reported catching one rainbow and one burbot so it had been slow to that point. We went around the point to the left were Ryno had reported doing good last weekend. We fished in water that was 31, 26 and 19ft deep and did not catch a fish until 4:30pm. Then it was, as if a switch was turned on and we caught one after another for an hour or so, even one lake trout. Then the switch turned off again and we waited until 8pm before our next fish, we decided to call it quits at 9pm. We caught 15 total and the one mack, we also lost several as we were bringing them up. It must have been below 0* on the lake but as we left and drove down the road temp in the truck had warmed up to 1*. I want to thank Ryno and Fishley for the great info they shared, it sure helped us in catching these fish. WH
