James,

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you, I've been chasing down those Green Heads since the re-opener.

GFL pre-spawn bite starts in Late January and really gets going come Feb. All 3 main feeder arms of the reservoir hold pre spawn fish along with select minor arms and tributaries. Look for contour changes with some type of cover, ie. rocks, boulders, wood, etc. Humps and structure changes in these location's are also another good spot to graph and check out. There are several major and minor launch location's you can use; Stewart Access, Devil's Fork, Hill Creek and Frontier Canyon just to name a few. The eyes run as far as they can with some of the last major deep water areas holding the vast majority of the fish. Shallow hard bottom areas with deeper water access are prime time areas to locate spawning fish. Fishing without a boat is not ideal or even close to being consistant however there are a hanfull of areas where the locals fish. One thing to remember about our eyes, we have both native fish (river fish) and the stocker fish. The natives will all use the rivers and tribs to spawn while the stockers will spawn on main lake points, 45 degree banks and main lake humps. Good Luck and call me when your ready to feel the pull~
