There's a lot of different species in the Jordan. Channel Catfish, Black Bullhead, Carp, Utah Suckers, White Bass, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Blue Gill, Green Sunfish, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroats, Perch, Black Crappie. And those are just the ones I've caught through Salt Lake.
And for all those species, there are just as many places to fish for them. Any of the road overpasses, inflows, outflows, bends, cut off banks, rocky areas, gravel bars, anything like that, all hold fish.
Cut baits, especially sucker, seems to work best for the channels and bullheads. Worms and jigs for most of the rest. Bread also seems to work. It'll all just depend on the time of day, location, and type of fish you want to target.
It's going to be an interesting year this year on the Jordan, with the new two pole regs and all. It's fun to wade fish that river when it's just a bit lower than it is now. Give it the middle of April, and you won't be able to keep the suckers off your lines, and it'll only get better after that.
