Frog Fishin'!

[FishDad6]

The bass didn't care much for the soft plastics we were trying to feed them last night, but the bullfrogs loved everything! The boys had a great time doing a little catch-n-release frog fishing.

There are bullfrogs in Utah, but not many. There's even a town named after them...

Rocky, hate to remind you, but PaRump is in Nevada !!!!

Looks like a unique bit of fun. If I'm not mistaken, bullfrogs are an invasive species in Utah and the DWR would love to get rid of them. I know that's the way it is here in Uintah County. One was found at Ouray NWR and the personnel there spent weeks trying to kill it before it could reproduce.

It is a product of our age !! Wisdom is supposed to come with age, but when you forget everything, what difference does it make !!

I have been seeing bullfrogs in Cache Valley the last couple of years.
I was looking online to see if there is any reporting or tracking of their presence, but it seems to me as if all other invasive species concerns in Utah have taken a back seat to the quagga threat.
I have seen what I believe to be Asian clams, another invasive species, here in the valley. They don't pose the same problems of hyper production and attachment, so I couldn't find anything except to indicate they are invasive.

Definitely a small town in Utah. I seen them around the bountiful golf course and a couple in the Jordan river. but not much. There is also some in the Farmington pond.
What water canal is that?Private property I presume.

Good fun pics. Thanks.

I know that they are not supposed to be here. But the fact that they are surviving where many frogs are really struggeling to stay alive in their native habitat makes me happy. Many memories of froggin growing up in Iowa during the 50's. Good times. The boys while remember catching those the rest of their lives as I have. [][fishin]

I like having frogs around too, the problem is that bullfrogs will eat anything that moves. That includes the native frogs in their habitat.

I've been seeing them in Cache too. I've seen them in The Bear River in Box Elder over by Riverside too.

Cache and southern Idaho both seem to have a decent frog population, I see (and hear) chorus frogs and leopard frogs regularly. Tiger salamanders too.

I've seen chorus frogs and tiger salamanders in my backyard in Clarkston, and I can hear hordes of chorus frogs every night out in the marshes east of town.

The marshes around Cutler and The Bear River and the river itself also has them. I've seen and/or heard them at most of the reservoirs in southeast Idaho that I've fished too. I've seen bullfrogs and leopard frogs down on The Bear by the dinner theater near Riverside too. They're definitely around.
