[@andrewneilson3214]

[@HuckOutdoors]

My favorite lake in Utah! Looks like we missed Ice Out this year!

[@jimquantic]

+Jason Huckeba When did the ice free this year?

[@HuckOutdoors]

Not sure! Wish we could have gone when they shot this video!

[@BearCat383]

Panguitch means 'Big Fish'. P.s. my grandparents own Cowboys Smokehouse in Panguitch, so fun to take a little drive out there to go fish after work.

[@HuckOutdoors]

When is ice out usually?

[@KSLOutdoors]

Sometime in April. Just depends on the weather.

[@EasyE20210]

The KSL Outdoors episode was filmed in March. They didn't give the date, however.

Huck Outdoors if you haven’t figured it out yet, 2 years later lol.. the ice just came off and it is ice off conditions.

Personal preference, I like to release fish without touching them. Just a long nosed plier, slip he hook, let em go. When you grab a fish, especially with a glove, instead of a wetted hand, you take off some of it's mucous membrane, which is there for a reason. In my opinion, you don't want to do that, if you don't have to.

👍 increase that survival rate and catch and release for the next guy. That's what I do also.

You would think with slot limits on Tiger and Cutthroat the Wildlife Biologist would no better than to use bait! I can NOT believe you would risk killing so many trout you would need to throw back.

[@andytchir8601]

Also not to lip a cutthroat trout 😂

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Dead fish floating everywhere because of Power Bait dunkers. Cant yank that hook out without killing the fish.

[@trashfishtv3266]

These guys can't guess a fishes weight for crap.... The biggest fish was maybe 2.5 pounds... Seriously

[@EasyE20210]

They probably don't tell the truth about how big IT is either.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Need to ban bait on Panguitch lake. People are killing thousands of fish with Power Bait.

[@roysaari3028]

Like 1970... yikes...will leave Utah to itself to destroy their limited trout populations.
