I have fished Jordanelle quite a bit this year. Caught our first kokanee when we launched off of the Personal Water Craft ramp on February 29. We have had a lot of luck, catching 3-8 kokanee on every trip. Most times we launched by 5:30am and were off the water by 9:00am. I believe the power squadron negatively impacts the kokanee bite as soon as the first wave runners/jet skis hit the water. I have tried to fish a couple of evenings and both times we only caught 1 koke. Evenings on Jordanelle have NOT been good.
I have been generally impressed with the size of the mature fish we have caught. Not as big as Strawberry or the Gorge but we have caught several fish between 2.5 and 3 pounds.
I know there has been a lot of discussion about the tendency of the fish at Jordanelle to feed at more shallow levels than other reservoirs. I believe that is true. There were many days in June when I didn't see any fish on the graph but caught our limits running our rigs between 8 and 20 feet. We don't see the large schools that we see at Strawberry or the Gorge which I believe means there is lower fish density in the lake.
I have been really happy with our experience on Jordanelle this year. I love being able to launch early, catch a handful of fish, and be in the office in Salt Lake before 10:00am.
These are pictures of the better fish we caught on a couple of mornings in early August
