Ran up to Jordanelle recently in the last couple days, Decided at the last minute to take the wife to fish for Kokanee for few hours and the Dog to swim a bit. Had to get away for a while. Broke all the rules. It was well worth it. The best day yet this year. Had first fish on in less than five minutes, it was a double. Had 4 doubles, one triple in about an hour and a half. Biggest just under 19", very nice for this early. Long line released a couple as I was clearing the net, kept 7, let one little one go, I was sure we would pick up another on the way to shore for the dog to swim. Of course then it slowed for a few minutes. I had told the wife and dog that it was time to swim, they both overide me. So we let the dog swim, retrieve and then
headed home. Great trip for just a few hours away from the valley.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Quality fish, and a great day on the water for you to, going to have to hit that lake soon
You can catch them on a lot of colors. For me color doesn’t matter as long as its Pink LOl and you are where the fish are. ![]()
Yes they may hit 20" Size Plus this year with a few months of prime time to grow. Last year 19 1/2 was biggest for me up there and that was about August time frame.
Good job. MUCH nicer sizes than I got tons of the other day. So many 5-6" perch
I have been to Utah Lake twice in the past few weeks. And I’m happy to report that the fast winter fishing we all look forward to is officially on! As far as ice goes, nothing of the safe variety yet. Both times I’ve gone there has been less than an inch of ice skimming the marinas so we’ve fished off the docks. A buddy of mine went a few days ago and there was no ice at all in the marina. Seems to vary day to day. I posted a video about our most recent trip. You can check it out if you want to We definitely slammed them! Caught over 200 between all of us. Mostly white bass but a few nice perch in the mix. Anyways, get out there. fishing’s fast! Few more weeks and we should start to see some safe ice out there.
