Went to Grantsville last week on thursday 3/28 as its one of the only bodies of water that is completely open near SLC. Didnt have much luck, only a few tugs on the line, but no hook ups. I tried several colors of chironomids at several depths with no luck. I got all my hits on buggers down deep. I heard of a few gear guys catching a few bouncing jigs off of the bottom, but overall it was pretty slow. Heading back this week to try my luck again.

Good Luck. What color Mids? And what color Buggers. I agree if you are in a float tube or pontoon, drag the bottom with a leech pattern.

I used black, brown, tan, a static bag and a red chirono all with no luck. The bugger colors were black, brown, green, and orange with all different sizes and looks. I went back today and got my butt handed to me again! Looks like that little reservoir has my number

The mossy green wooly bugger in the attached pic is my best bet @ g-ville. Fished just off the bottom.
The male brown in the pic was mad as hell that he suckered for that bugger. I could see it on his face, he was thinking "that's a trick those stupid rainbows fall for!"

I'll be sure to tie a few of those up next time I sit down at the ole vice. Thanks for posting that. Hopefully next time I head out to grantsville the fish will be in a biting mood.

Good luck. I haven't fished it yet this spring. There are a bunch of crayfish in and amongst the rocks,so i'm guessing that color of wooly bugger must imitate pretty well.
