Deer Creek - 3/29

[kjox21]

Headed to the Dam and used the Deer Creek trail to walk down the shoreline. It took quite a while to see any action! I started fishing at around 10 am and didn't hook my first fish until 1:30....slow start for sure. I saw a few others catch fish but it seemed slow for everyone. 

It wasn't until I started fishing the steep dropoffs at round 8-11 feet down that I started to hook some fish. I was using a balanced Leech (essentially a jig) that I got all my fish on. 

I ended up hooking 6 trout (4 rainbows and 2 browns) and one bass. Can't wait to go back next weekend!

Thanks for the report!  It sounds like you had to work for them, but that's not a bad showing in the end.  I try to time my Deer Creek fishing to optimize for mixed catches of trout and bass.  Sounds like it's still early, but getting close to time to try it.

Nice report! What did you catch the trout and bass on?

Hey Robert -- so is the entire Deer Creek Res. considered a State Park? that why you're saying you can't go there? I'm pretty much stuck here in Davis Co. with no decent water (trolling)...and am considering taking my kayak to Bountiful Pond....Whoopee!!

Yes the entire area around Deer Creek is a state park. As far as I know Jordanelle is the same way. All access points are on state park land.

I think that it's going a little over board as long people are staying spread out but they didn't ask me when making the decisions.

Glad to see you finally made it in to BFT Joe.

They didn't ask any of us.
