Planning a fishing outage with the family this weekend. Will possibly have a 5 year old that would like to catch a fish. I was thinking of going to Jordanelle or East Canyon. Which would you prefer? and why? BTW this will be fishing from the shore line, no boat for me… yet. ---

Just for a thought I was at rockport today and me and my ten year old caught some fish trolling today and noticed a lot of people catxhing fish from shore with a clear bubble and rainbow powerbait not the nelle or east canyon but just a thought ---

Thanks for the reply. Rockport is a good place, that is where the family outing has gone to the last few weeks. I wanted to change it up a bit. Plus my brother has yet to catch anything at Rockport this year and he is determined now that there are no fish left there haha. ---

Since nobody is talking (at least on the forum, you might have gotten PM’s) I would recommend the nelle. I hear good things about the SMB action near the inlet at Rock Cliff arm from fisherman at the shops and the forums. I spoke with a fisherman at Mantua that said he picked up a SMB at East Canyon but I hear some guys get around 40 SMB’s at the nelle. At the nelle I would recommend the drop shot method although being on shore kinda limits you ability to catch fish. At least around the nelle there is the porvo river too. I love SMB’s and all but since you cannot really eat them (consumption advisory) at the nelle I don’t go there. Rockport was great over the winter and in June I had some luck with the SMB’s but once the water levels rose back up my action suddenly stopped and I quit going there. Hope it helps. ---

Jordanelle for sure! We hammered the smallies from the shore a few weeks ago. Wish I had my boat that day… ---

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate all of the feedback 🙂 I snagged 2 trout from Rockport around the end of June but no luck since then. I fished East Canyon last year and got a few SMB. I will try Jordanelle for sure 🙂 Thank you again.
