[#0000FF]There ARE a few crayfish in Jordanelle...but not enough to justify a trip with the kids for harvesting them. They were never planted (legally) in the lake but have probably always been in the Provo River system. The smallmouth bass keep what few there are in check...never letting them proliferate.
I have never seen a live crayfish in Jordanelle but have seen "remnants"...both washed up on shore and in the innards of a small bass kept several years ago.
Used to be gazillions in Deer Creek...until smallmouths were put in there (legally).
Best shot is Strawberry. Also some in Scofield, Starvation and East Canyon. Strawberry in late summer is the best in the northern part of the state.
