Fishing Report

Utah Lake is about the same, a little under 57 percent with all ramps open when the weather allows. South Ramp is still the shallowest. The park page now lists algae as clear, but DEQ had advisories up at Lindon Marina and a few other spots, so we'd still stay out of scummy water and keep the dogs out.

White bass are chasing bait this time of year, so look for birds and busting fish. Channel cats are an evening deal around the channels and harbor mouths, and they'll slow down as the nights get colder. Lighter wind in the forecast makes this a better week to get out than last.

Hot Species

Selected by the Anglers Den team

White Bass

An aggressive schooling predator that frequently chases baitfish in open water and along shorelines. White bass readily strike small jigs, spoons and crankbaits.

Channel Catfish

A bottom-oriented predator found in Utah’s warmer lakes and reservoirs. Channel catfish are commonly targeted near channels, rocky structure and shallow flats after dark.

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.

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.

Common Carp

A powerful, wary fish commonly found on shallow flats and around vegetation. Carp can be targeted with bait or sight-fished using carefully presented flies.
