Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass anglers near Hideout, Utah, should set their sights on the Jordanelle Reservoir. This reservoir offers decent smallmouth habitat with its rocky shorelines and clear water. The most productive time to target smallmouth is during the late spring and early summer when they are spawning, and again in the fall as they feed heavily before winter. Focus your efforts around rocky points, submerged humps, and drop-offs. A local tip: Try using tube baits or crankbaits that mimic crawfish, a primary food source for smallmouth in Jordanelle. Also, pay attention to wind direction, as smallmouth often congregate on the windward side of structures. While Jordanelle may not be a trophy smallmouth destination, it offers a chance to catch these hard-fighting fish against a beautiful mountain backdrop. Be mindful of boat traffic, especially during peak season, and practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
