Well I got to fish with one of BYU new fishing team yesterday on the Nell, we got a few bass but it was no where close to being as good as it was..
BYU should have a good team and may give other schools a good run for there money..
Here is a picture of the biggest bass..[inline P8120009.JPG]

If all you can do is bitch about how small they are and how destroyed jordanelle is because of the dnr then why do you keep wasting your time up there cliff? That's called insanity man. You need some help from a credible psychologist.

my buddy caught one over 20 inches up there this summer. So there are a few pigs left but nothing like the glory days.

Well I have only fished Jordanelle three times this year in hopes that I have been wrong and my fishing up there was only me, and I was just having a bad nightmare..

If we had slit limits on our waters the fishing would be much better..

Similar story for me at Jordanelle all year. Mostly just little 6-8 fish but maybe 1-3 12"+ fish in a morning/evening. I wouldn't say any I've caught have been over 15" inches though.
Attached is a picture of one of my better ones from Jordanelle this year. Are they pulling big smallies out of any lake in Utah? Between DC, Jordanelle and Rockport I haven't found them yet.

I have only fished Rockport 3 times but it seems like they are all a bit more chunky than what Jordanelle is producing. Comparable length fish as Jordanelle, maybe slightly longer but have a helluva lot more weight to them. Had a buddy catch one out of Rockport that was a lot bigger than anything I've pulled out of either lake. Still just the 15 inch range but had a big belly on it.

that the perch we caught is as big as the Smallies...I guess these past years, Smallies is living up to its name...
on my face. The bass in the weeds are nice and fat too. It was good to see. ![[Image: IMG_3425_zps73facd48.jpg]](http://smg.photobucket.com/user/MarkMemmott/media/IMG_3425_zps73facd48.jpg.html)
