Jordanelle Reservoir (Blue Ribbon):Fishing forecast (June through August): Jordanelle Reservoir is a very popular summer watercraft recreation destination. Recreational boating, swimming and non-angler shore use are high during these months, particularly in the Hailstone boat ramp and Ross Creek areas. Fishing weekends and holidays can be challenging for boat and shore anglers. We recommend anglers seek out less congested, low-traffic areas to help improve their fishing experience. Fishing early mornings, later evenings and weekdays during these months can also improve angler success and overall satisfaction. Boat anglers are typically able to launch from the main Hailstone boat ramp and PWC boat ramp through August. Kokanee salmon: Kokanee salmon catch rates are typically best from mid-May through July, and gradually taper off as these fish begin to transition for spawning in late August. Finding and fishing at the correct depths for kokanee is critical. As water warms during the summer, kokanee will generally move to deeper, cooler water. We recommend trolling in the mornings (before sunrise) or later evenings at 1.52.0 miles per hour. Early in the season, start targeting the shallower water (1020 feet) early in the day, and move to deeper water (2550 feet) later in the day if needed. Later in the summer, the kokanee will generally all be in deeper water (3050 feet). For tackle, various colored dodgers trailing a brightly colored (pink, purple, orange, chartreuse, etc.) hoochie squid rig work well. Various other brightly colored small rigs and lures also work well. Have a variety of colors and styles handy and change them up often to find the color and lure that works best on that day, as it can change from day to day. We recommend tipping the squid or lure with manufactured maggot-style baits, corn, salmon egg, small live baits (maggots, worms, etc.), salad shrimp and/or various scents. Kokanee can be caught almost anywhere out in the open, deeper water. Once you find the kokanee, continue trolling back through the same areas until the bite subsides. Trout: Over 20,000 catchable size (1012 inch) rainbow trout were stocked at the end of April. Anglers should see fair to good trout catch rates during these summer months, targeting deeper water. Garlic-, corn- or cheese-scented trout dough bait fished off the bottom or behind a casting bubble can be very effective from both boat and shore. Trolling or actively casting the following lures can also be effective: Jakes Spin-A-Lure, Thomas Speedy Shiner, Eppinger Dardevle, Acme Kastmaster, Zona Lures Z-Ray, Panther Martin, Blue Fox Classic Vibrax Spinner and Rapala Original. Smallmouth bass: Catch rates are good this time of year. For these fish, we recommend using soft plastic worms, stickbaits, tube jigs, twister tail grubs, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, drop-shot rigs, ned rigs and Neko rigs. Wacky rigged Senkos, skirted jigs, streamers, swimbaits and topwater flies or lures can all produce fish. (May 30, 2025)
