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.
