Jordan River 7-20-04

[scartinez]

I had a couple of hours to spare yesterday, so my cousin and I decided to go wet a worm down at the Jordan River. We started fishing around 7000 s. Just using a medium sinker and a worm, letting it sit on the bottom. We were getting consistent bites from bullheads, but all just smaller ones( about 8 inches ). I did catch something that was a big surprise to me. I was getting small bites so I picked up my pole to have a feel. He kept nibbling so I set the hook, and all of the sudden my drag started singing. I thought I had I nice channel, but when I seen it surface it looked more like a sucker. As I got it closer I could see the colors, it was a 20 inch rainbow trout. This was a huge surprise to me, I haven't caught a rainbow in the Jordan in years, and I have never caught one that big out of there before. I caught a brown once that was about 15 inches, but that's about the biggest trout I have caught out of there, till now. The total catch for my cousin and I were, Three bullheads for him and one perch, two bullheads and a rainbow for me. Not to bad in a hour in a half.
Has anybody else ever caught a big trout out of the Jordan, and if so what species was it?

That is a great report and to do that good in half am hour is awesome. You said you had a couple of hours to spare, did you try another area and not do as good as where you caught all those fish or were you there less the two hour? WH2

Glad to hear a Jordan report it's been a while. I've fished that section quite a bit but the last time I was down there the grass and moss was just too much to contend with, and the water was real low... that was about a month ago. I usually set up near the park benches immediately south of 7000 South. I had something on that was BIG but got broken off. I've been itching to hit the Jordan again I may have to check it out.
