I headed for the Nell at 5:30 this morning, no wind and looking to be a nice sunny day..
The temps was 51 at home and 38 at the lake, then it went down hill from that point...
A few days ago I helped the UVU fisherman at there tournament and sense I was not fishing I took most of my rods and tackle out of my boat to make room for the two fisherman...
And yes I forgot to put them back in the boat..[frown][:p][mad][:/][unimpressed][pirate]
I looked all over my boat and found two poles and ONE jerk bait and one drop shot hook and two grubs and two gulp minnows in a bag that who knows how long they have been there..Yes they was all but leather!!
I started to try and fish sense I was there any way [pirate] I tried the Jerk bait for about a half hour with no luck wile the gulp was soaking, maybe my 5 cast or so I hooked my first fish just a brown about 24" (did not bring it in the boat) then about a 100 yards down the bank I got another a little bigger and a bass about 14"..
Then I seen the DWR gill nets I look at them in the water and could see some chubs in it..
The DWR showed up about ten min. later and I watched them pull the nets.. They had 8 nets out over the lake and two boats pulling them..
From what I was told and seen there was only 5 bass and a few rainbows and a few browns..Most was chubs all looked to be 10" or bigger with very few perch, I only seen two in 4 of the nets..
I was told that the DWR has cut back on the planting of trout in Jordanelle by about 2/3 in the last two years...
The bass numbers was way down as well..
I took a few pictures one is one of the UVU people I fished with the others are the DWR pulling the nets, as you can see one or two is working and all the others are seeing they are doing it right..[
