I have been turned onto making my own fish food and need to know if anyone is going brine shrimp fishing at the great salt lake any time soon or the best time to do this.

any ideas?

Great minds are thinking alike. I just answered a PM from "jason" about when GSL BS start showing up. The typical season is May through October. The early hatches don't result in a huge population but by June there are times when we can find BS pretty dense so it's easy to get plenty.

Here is a link to some good info and pics of GSL BS: http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65968

Don't these look delicious?

so I went out to the lake today since  was already in slc for the reef tour.   there are napi in the lake I say a good 4 to 6 weeks and there will be collectible amounts.  the ranger said 3 weeks at the current temps there will be collectible amounts but to get amounts large amounts late may or first of june as mark said.  I was surprised how green the water is right now. it is warm too about 50 degrees

Does this mean we should be taking trips out to the GSL here now?
