Just got back from the Blue River an hour west of Denver and caught the biggest rainbows of my life on mysis shrimp patterns. The Blue is smaller than the Provo, running very high right now at 1100 cfs (normally around 100) but these fish get huge feeding on the shrimp that get flushed out of Dillon Reservoir.
I've never heard of mysis in Utah. Are there any lakes with them? I can only imagine how big our trout could get with a good consistent feed. No more stunted trout.
Has there ever been a push to introduce them here? I know the shrimp compete with kokanee in some lakes but how about in Jordanelle and DC?
