Jordanelle Browns - Finnegan - 03-01-2022 It's that time of year! Pre-spawn brown trout are hungry, active and aggressive, making this the easiest time to catch these powerful fish. Jordanelle holds a good population including some real lunkers and I've been having a ball! Browns will hit anything right now, but my go-to this year has been a small chartreuse Gitzit with a meal worm. Most productive fishing seems to be a couple feet off the bottom in shallow water during the early morning, moving out to 35-40 feet of water by 9:00 am. I've been fishing Ross Creek, but I suspect similar conditions elsewhere on the reservoir. Ice is currently 12" and starting to soften up. RE: Jordanelle Browns - JArner - 03-01-2022 Nice write up. Thanks for sharing. RE: Jordanelle Browns - TubeDude - 03-01-2022 Congrats on a nice fish.  Just one minor correction.  The browns are POST-SPAWN.  They run up the Provo in late fall and are now spawned out and hungry. RE: Jordanelle Browns - TT600 - 03-02-2022 Do you think the open water is better or worse for browns? I’m thinking of hand launching.
