Sorry for the delay in getting back to you fish4fish.
We used to go to the shallow, swampy areas with a lot of moss growth and run a small mesh net ( I forget what the fly fisherman call it) through some of the moss. It would only take a couple of minutes to get enough for the day. Some of the shrimp in there ran 3/4". We always wondered if it was legal, but couldn't find anything in the proclamation reguarding shrimp caught and used on the same water. We figured it would have to be OK where the shrimp weren't game fish and weren't being transported.
I tried this on some other waters too. I found that Browns go nuts for those shrimp. We found a pond up Nephi canyon just off the road where we could catch some smaller shrimp, but they were still big enough to get on a tiny hook. Float that about 9' under a bubble and just wait. I only went up there a few times, but a buddy of mine caught a few Browns over 6lbs. out of that tiny diversion pond.
