Started fishing at 6pm and the perch were all over my jig / worm combo until 8pm then they stopped like turning off a switch. Most were 6" or less, but did catch 3 between 8-9" and one dinky 8" walleye. After the perch stopped, I started hitting the edges of the brush with the same yellow 1/16 oz jig with a 2" white curly tail. The smallmouth did not disappoint. Probably caught 20 and lost another 8 or 9. Avg size was around 11", but did hook a couple that were 12-13 and 1.5 lbs or so. Really fun on an ultralight, but I I lost many because I couldnt set the hook hard enough to keep it in.
Filled a quart bag with fillets...looking forward to some more ceviche soon!
Looks like Echo treated you really well. The high water levels in Northern Utah are creating some fun fishing opportunities
Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew
