[quote Gemcityslayer]Which reservoirs in Utah produce the largest browns? Jordanelle? Where else?[/quote]
That question right there is what has kept anglers fishing for a long, long time! Fishing is somewhat different than big game hunting. With the hunters of today, most know what animals are in the area long before the hunt ever starts. In fact, most have been named -- silly stuff like "kick stand", "Bull
le", or "Handlebars".
With fish, we usually have no idea what lurks in those murky depths. And that's good. Just like that 1 good golf shot, that's what keeps us coming back for more!
Historically, we've seen big brown trout (7 - 12lbs) come from: Baker Res, Otter Creek, Piute, Fish Lake, Tropic Res. Those are just some in the southern region. I'm sure there are some in Flaming Gorge, Jordanelle, Deer Creek...
No reason not to assume that any reservoir downstream from a river system with brown trout wouldn't have a bruiser lurking in those depths too!
