Utah Lake

Fishing report

• Rating: Hot
• Conditions: Channel catfish success continues to be very good. Several anglers report catching catfish between 25 and 30 inches long using worms or stink baits. First-time anglers at the Utah lake Festival caught many black bullhead catfish. White bass fishing is still relatively slow. Walleye fishing has been slow. Please keep in mind that there is a fish-consumption advisory for channel catfish and carp in Utah Lake. If you happen to catch a northern pike, please do not release it. We do not want pike in the lake!
