Anyone having success fishing the jordan river? Been fishing it during work in North salt lake and not having much luck.

How are you fishing it?

6 weight rod, floating line, 9' leader, indy at 5', glow bug yellow.

Pardon me a silly question, but what is "indy"?

Google results on this are a wee bit vague. Is it a rig's name? Like here: http://www.jonsguideservice.com/page96

Indicator. Bobber if you choose. I like the small Thingamabobbers because I can see the slightest of hits. The water is 98% of the time stained so I can not sight fish, so the indicator helps, and I don't get hung up on the bottom as often.

Had something on around my 300th cast. It was big. Using 2.5" white curly tail.

Gets the blood pumping for sure. Always a surprise at the end of the line. This from today.

Thanks flygoddess, when I get better at fly casting I'll give it a try (btw I googled that yellow glow bug and the first result was some awesome carp pics from your blog -- very very convincing).

To kbfan, there is also catfish, at least were I fish. If you throw some nightcrawlers in there, you'll quickly learn what can be caught in your area.

Interesting catch. I bet that was a first.

The first one for 2015.

Ha would like to see the look on your face when you first saw that. Way cool

I have caught several of them, but not this early in the year. They have such small mouths. Even this one in the picture. Mouth is maybe the diameter of a dime, so they peck at the fly. I had several light hits and I was hoping this was why. This early in the season? but this has been a crazy winter. When I did get it close enough to see the color, I did a happy dance. They are a challenge.

Have you checked out the north end of the river yet....more from 3300 s to the airport??
[signature]

Yes. A lot of killer spots.

Nice goldfish!

The goldfish in my picture measured 13-1/2"
