Utah Lake

Fishing report

• Rating: Hot
• Conditions: Many anglers report that channel catfish fishing is good. Several channel catfish between 25-30 inches long have been reported using baits such as worms or stink bait. White bass fishing is still considered fair, but it could improve over the next week or so. If you go out fishing for white bass, please us know how you do by sending an email to scottroot@utah.gov. Walleye fishing has been quite slow. Please do not release any of the northern pike you catch. We do not want them in the lake!
