[quote Blackellunge]yeah i thought they were small at DC until i fished Jordanelle. 6-8 inchers all day !!! altough i did nail one at 14 inches a few trips back . some nice rainbows in there tho[/quote]
Yeah, there are lots of 6-8 inchers. However, I was there last week and did quite well for size. A full top 5 over 13inches and with a 16 and 15. Not like the old days, but good enough to put a
on my face. The bass in the weeds are nice and fat too. It was good to see.
It is probably a waste of time to say something positive about Jordanelle and I'll doubtless be drowned out by pessimism and cries of DWR incompetence, but have you guys seen the jungle of weeds and bushes that has grown in the old lakebed at Rock Cliffs and elsewhere? What do you think is going to happen if the pond gets back to full pool? Why is the fishing so good in the submerged weeds that got flooded this year? (unsolicited hint) I'm kind of looking forward to the immediate future there. Now if we could get folks to take home a few dink smallies to thin the herd a little, but that is probably too much to ask.
Uh, on second thought, you guys are right. Jordanelle stinks. Don't waste your time there.
