Me and my budy went to logan river to see and test all the damages on logan river between us both we got 20 fish lol I got 14 he got 6 haha just had to put it out ther fearfish 2 haha but this stuck out the most it had a BIG head but little body most of are fish weren't bigger then 8 inch I did see one that mite have been two pounds but I don't like how little all the fish are now that they cleared the river There is almost no holes for them to hid in now I wish the guy would take a big scoop of dirt and move it to leave a little pit from time to time to give fish a place to hold up in the river bottom if flat ever where where thy have been it kind of socks I use to be able to go fish it and be able to get a couple of 16 inch browns when I went all tho I did get a a lot less stick fish this I went but man I really hate to see how shallow River gets in the summer Cause of how flat it is

Sounds like a good day. Where did you fish at? I went up last week a little past temple fork and hooked into some big healthy looking browns with a blue Prince nymph.

I'd heard the crews were actually going to try to make some holes, bends, and back eddy's. I've found a few, and some that seemed to consistently hold fish. A yellow and black marabou was a killer on the browns.
Discovered the sucker spawn last spring, didn't realize we even have em, but honestly - fried filets, and parts for catfish bait - both were quite enjoyed by the recipients!
You flinging flies, or chucking hardware? Water seems pretty high what I've seen just traveling home.

No it won't , it will only demolish the brown trout fishing,
Truth be told, a brown trout could be a rarity in 10 years , when the cutthroat trout restoration is complete

I don't know much about the logan river...can you explain what you mean when you said they cleared it and that its shallower now? Do they have dams or something or how did they change the river?

They are trying to mitigate the flooding along the river on the west side of Logan by removing the vegetation and any impedements, basicly making a raceway of the riverbed for the water to flow faster. It looks like crap and they are going to need to do this every few years or the river will recreate the holes and eddys for a natural flow again. They are doing another project on riverside drive digging the river deeper, where there hase never been a flooding problem. Waste of money there and way overkill on the lower Logan. IMHO they just needed to clean up the junk and remove the beaver, not remove all of the trees they did.

Oh thats too bad. It's not to that extreme but they dredged the Jordan River as well. The thing that's the most frustrating about altering rivers like you said is that it just looks so unnatural and on any high water year, flooding is going to happen no matter what. Yet we continue to build more houses near rivers... Studies have actually shown that doing what they're doing can make flooding worse and that a better solution is to plant large trees on the land where the river would start to flood.
