[cool][#0000FF]Good old crawlers are about as good a bait as you can use on the Jordan...usually. But sometimes you will do better with "fishy" fare...like minnows or cut bait.
Minnows can legally be redside shiners, chubs, fathead minnows or even small yellow perch or white bass. Fish them whole or cut into pieces.
Cut bait is often more appealing because it puts more scent in the water. On the Jordan it is legal to use sucker meat, carp, perch or white bass. On some days they will show a definite preference for one or the other.
Not good to fish too light or with no weight when you have to fish around snags and hold the bait in one spot. But if you fish a deep hole with clean bottom, that is a good way to go.
The water will start flowing by April 15th, if not sooner. That is the water users' agreed time for them to open the gates at the pumphouse.
