It was March 16, I have waited through the bad weather long enough. This march has been one of the snowiest I can remember. I saw a glimmer of sunlight and I ran to get out and catch something. I decided to hit the warm spring that flows into the Jordan River next to Inlet Park in Lehi. I walked up to the river where the spring comes in and it was steaming showing that there was warm water moving in. It was also very shallow due to no water being let out from the lake yet. I looked into the hole and could see many small Bluegill lining the shoreline, I then saw a nice Largemouth swimming through the small fishing hole. I rigged up with a drop-shot rig baited with a live worm. First cast gave me nothing. Second cast I saw my line start going up river. Wham I set the hook and pulled in the first Largemouth of the year, it was about 8 inches long. I continued to cast and my bait would get hammered from all of the small Bluegill. I could not catch them though becaust my hook was to big. I kept fishing trying to catch the nice Bass that was continuosly swimming around but the Bluegill would not give up and I finally caught one finding out that they were about 2-3 inches long. I decided to go with a plastic zoom worm in earth green color with sparkles trying to keep the Bluegill off. Many casts and no more Largemouth. So I decided for fun to use a small yellow tube jig tipped with a piece of worm under a bobber and caught Bluegill for a while. This finally got boring so I called it a day.
