Have you had just as much success seeing/netting them in the middle of the summer when you were there? I'm not sure why folks who harvest them focus on through the ice or at ice out.
Canyon - Summer is the only time we have ever messed with them. That video was during the Summer. I have never paid attention to them any other time.
I would imagine that if I ever get the Trout to survive the Winter and reproduce my scud numbers would eventually decline.
