    Default Green River 8.75" Fish


    Does the DFWL have any solution to the volume of short fish at Green River? I understand you got to have small ones to grow to be big ones. However, looks like they have a stunted situation on their hands. 1 keeper out of every 10 caught? Not good odds. Really getting to be a sad situation in my opinion.

    I feel the same way about Taylorsville. I can catch 9.5 - 9.75 fish all the time. 10's are hard to find. For me anyways lol.

    The overall size of fish to me is down from years pass but I still catch more keeper size fish than dinks on most days. I also think the patterns has changed since white bass started coming back and with all the fish pressure it has.

    Maybe the fish are smarter than you think. They know the size limit and when they get near that they eat less so they don't go over that limit. Eat less live longer!

    The lakes are so overfished a fish doesn't have a chance to live very long once big enough.

    Can’t comment on Green…but I can only hope that everyone understands that taylorsville is full of nothing but short fish. I have been fortunate enough to find the only 15 keepers in the lake on most days that I go. Even more strange…when I decide to take my dad we find the only 30. Dunno..

    Quite right, BCO ... when the size limit was 9" it was no trouble to catch 50:1 throwbacks to keepers. BUT, limits of keepers were hauled out of the lake every day. I think even I might have done it a time or two.

    One of the very reasons I gave up using minners was due to the overwhelming number of throwbacks caught. With jigs, well you just chuck'em back into the lake & keep on casting if they don't measure up.

    I think a lot of people are too "bank oriented" ... and I confess that I've been guilty of being that way, too. I've also been guilty of making a "milk run" over the same stretches of banks way too often. I'm going to try and break that mindset & explore other areas of the lake more often.

    If they'd do like i do they wouldn't hurt the population much. I don't catch many & take even fewer than that home. Seriously though I haven't took a fish home in a few months now. I will keep a few when the spawns over but not that many then & i love fresh fish.
