Fishing Report

Jordanelle is sitting around 6,115 feet and fishing well. The trout are coming up shallower as the water cools, and the smallmouth are still on the rocky points. No algae advisory is posted here, which is nice with all the warnings around.

For trout, DWR says trolling a white or green tube tipped with a little worm is a good bet, or dough bait and crawlers in less than 30 feet from shore. Rock Cliff and Ross Creek ramps are still out of the water, use the main ramp. Kokanee are spawning and you can't keep any through November 30.

Hot Species

Selected by the Anglers Den team

Brown Trout

A wary, aggressive trout recognized by its golden-brown body and dark spots. Larger browns often feed heavily on baitfish and are most active in low light.

Rainbow Trout

A widely stocked and naturally reproducing trout known for aggressive feeding, strong runs and its distinctive pink lateral stripe.

Smallmouth Bass

A hard-fighting warm-water predator commonly found around rocky shorelines, points and drop-offs. Smallmouth readily strike soft plastics, crankbaits and streamers.

Kokanee Salmon

A landlocked sockeye salmon found in several Utah reservoirs. Kokanee travel in schools and are commonly targeted by trolling small dodgers, squids and spoons.

Yellow Perch

A schooling fish recognized by its yellow body and dark vertical bars. Yellow perch feed around vegetation and bottom structure and readily take small jigs and bait.
