Jordan River

This is the thing about the Jordan River. Everyone thinks its dirty and there is no life in it because you can't really see anything living in it. But that all changes when you pull up that Channel Catfish. Weird white thing never seen before. But I will tell you that there is life and that you can catch things up there.

The Jordan river is huge big long stretch of river that stretchs from Utah Lake and drains into the Great Salt Lake. But there is a thing that will help you catch something in there. First get a egg sinker put it on then attach a swivel. After that put your hook in and attach a worm. A earthworm is the only thing that works in there. We have tried shrimp but only caught a mud cat on that and it wasn't big at all!!!! But people that ive seen fish there say that shrimp is a mircale worker there. But earthworms would be the choice.

That river contain White Bass, Channel Catfish, Mud cat, Common Carp, and the redtail catfish. I have caught all that have been in there my secert is the earthworm. I have caught them all on a earthworm.

The thing about catfish is that they are bottom feeders. The feed on the bottom. They like that so the deeper you get you will maybe get a decent channel catfish. They aren't very good catfish to eat i have heared but they are to fun to catch because they put up a great fight. The reason I say they are not good to eat is because people say that the Jordan River has mercury posion in it and that is not very good is it.

Well the sizes I have caught the biggest catfish is about 15 inches not very big it was a channel catfish. Mud cats aren't very big but they can weigh pretty big for a small size.

Now the Common Carp. Also know as the Overgrown goldfish. They are huge pretty big size put up a way good fight they fight and fight. Since you think that the river is dirty and has a lot of crap in it then you would think that you have got caughting on something. But that is wrong when something is dragging you line away and gets you kinda tired. This fish is fun to catch to much fun. But not good to eat because all they eat is garbage.

So pretty much I would recommend this fishing spot to beginer fishers because know matter where you fish on that river you have a good chance of pulling something up.
