Fishing forecast December through February: Jordanelle Reservoir typically has open water through December into January. The hailstone boat ramp and PWC ramp are typically open for anglers, and a wedge ramp is left in place at the PWC ramp. Boat, float tube and kayak anglers typically see fair trout catch rates (rainbow trout, brown trout, splake, and the occasional cutthroat trout) drift trolling panfish/crappie jigs, white or chartreuse tube jigs, marabou jigs, or streamers - patterns such as a balanced leach, wooly bugger, Mickey Finn, or sparkle minnow. We recommend anglers trolling for trout target the 15' -25' water column. Shore anglers tend to see fair to good rainbow trout catch rates in December, and slow to fair catch rates in January. We recommend using garlic or corn scented trout dough bait fished 3-feet behind a with a casting bubble. DWR's fall stocking efforts of catchable size rainbow trout in October and November should provide anglers fair to good trout fishing this winter.Ice starts to develop during the alter half of January to fish from- ice is typically 8 inches thick. Hailstone bay and Ross Creek can freeze/cap completely during the later part of January. However, the PWC and dam portion of the reservoir doesn't typically freeze, or freeze completely. By early February, its fairly common to have a mixture of ice and open water near the dam, with fishable ice 9 ice that is at least 4" thick) north of Hailstone, and in the Rock Cliff arm. Ice conditions deteriorate quickly in late February. Smallmouth bass, wiper, and tiger Muskie are challenging to catch in winter. Trout, Splake and Yellow perch can be caught through the ice using ice jigs tipped with nightcrawler, meal worm, or wax worm jigged a foot off the bottom.
