Live from the Mighty Jordan River

[Kent]

Can't catch any fish so I might as well make a post. Fishing 1700 South right next to the water park. Been fishing just over an hour and saw a green head, a muskrat and a regular rat and zero fish. Hoping for a few suckers for sturgeon bait, but may not happen.

Add a huge beaver to the wildlife seen.

Finally hooked something and it was so huge that it broke me off! It was at least a 70 foot tall tree! I doubt i can top that so i am calling it a day.

Fishing been slow on the jordan river. I've caught catfish here and there but nothing great because all of the mudders eat everything.

Kent, give a shout next time you are in the area. We can find them. By the Golf Course close to 21st is pretty good.

I'll come down and pull the bodies out for you guys [:/] or at least stand by while you fish in The Hood' [laugh]

Mike, I appreciate your offer even more than Joni's. Fishing The Mighty Jordan River is one of the few places that when I fish it I wish that I had a concealed weapon permit, and was carrying something to protect me a little more than a fishing rod.

hit the tributaries if you want to catch fish. you were pretty close to a spot I have fished in the past that can be fair. look up stream from your location on google maps and you will see it. hint: its south of 21st.

I know where you are talking, some places better left unmentioned. Trash is really getting bad over there.
I fish more around 13th to the Fairgrounds. Lotsa BIG gold fish too.

I do carry a flashlight/taser. More LARGE dogs that don't require the leash law.

So, either the tree rolled like a gator and broke your line, or the beaver bit through it cuz it was his tree.

Them trees can be crafty. Live a long time and get big and smart. Ol' Mossbarks, we call em. [sly]

Naw... just make sure you aren't fishing anything too red or too blue, and you'll be ok.[shocked]

Just a question ?? When you are fishing for suckers in the Jordan, do you have to be aware of the type of sucker you catch?? What happens if you catch a Junie?? Do you carry id cards with you so you can make sure any sucker caught is a plain ol mt. sucker and not a divine Junie !!!! Just wondering !!!

[flygoddess]

Very good question. I have no idea on the difference. I do let everything go however.

The mouth is different on a june sucker. The mouth is oriented forward instead of down. Similar to a rocky mountain whitefish with fatter lips.

Nice! I mainly fish for Channels on the Jordan, but I do plan to branch out a bit this season. Suckers are fascinating and I'd love to catch one. Just worms on the bottom right?

Don't tell me you caught yours on a fly??[shocked]

[flygoddess]

I did. It was on the same fly I use for Carp. Worm could be pretty effective I bet.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just buy some sucker meat from Sportsmans warehouse? At least you got to see some decent wildlife. I presume no bodies found either?
