I hit Jordanelle today from 3-8PM on a mission to find the smallmouth. I found them in 40 feet of water on the bottom and managed to get one of them to bite on a jig and one on a drop shot. Then they stopped biting, but I still saw them on the sonar.
I made my way in more shallow because I saw some surface action and I managed to catch about 20 rainbows off the same point just a bit more shallow.
On my way back in I spoke with another boat and asked how they were doing and they held up a nice 22 inch Walleye they caught off of the boat ramp on the hailstone side, go figure! They told me they have caught a couple other walleye out of there bottom bouncing in the marina area. Man I wish I had my camera today.
The DWR was up there gill netting but were in speed/stealth mode and didn't give any report on what was netted. I saw them zip up the rock cliff arm then 30 minutes later they were back and packing the boat and were out of there.
Just some info. Was a fun evening even though I got dumped on pretty good, but it seemed the fishing was HOT when it was raining.
