Fishing Report

Starvation is still fishing well for smallmouth and walleye, and trout are still slow. It's down around 5,685 feet. The ramp is open with the wedge dock in. New for us this week, DEQ has had an algae warning on Starvation since mid September, so keep the dogs out of any scummy water.

The park is still asking people to release crappie and to keep the small walleye under 15 inches. Work rocky points, channel edges and breaks with jigs and crankbaits, close to the bottom. The cooler weather might wake the trout up a little.

Hot Species

Selected by the Anglers Den team

Walleye

A low-light predator commonly found near rocky points, drop-offs and deeper structure. Walleye are often targeted with jigs, crankbaits and slowly trolled presentations.

Smallmouth Bass

A hard-fighting warm-water predator commonly found around rocky shorelines, points and drop-offs. Smallmouth readily strike soft plastics, crankbaits and streamers.

Rainbow Trout

A widely stocked and naturally reproducing trout known for aggressive feeding, strong runs and its distinctive pink lateral stripe.

Brown Trout

A wary, aggressive trout recognized by its golden-brown body and dark spots. Larger browns often feed heavily on baitfish and are most active in low light.

Kokanee Salmon

A landlocked sockeye salmon found in several Utah reservoirs. Kokanee travel in schools and are commonly targeted by trolling small dodgers, squids and spoons.

Yellow Perch

A schooling fish recognized by its yellow body and dark vertical bars. Yellow perch feed around vegetation and bottom structure and readily take small jigs and bait.
