Depends on your definition of "close" - as in to what? If UL is your "close" -
ly it's my "far". But it should be a good choice. Willard is full of 'em. Up my neck of the woods Cutler and Bear River are chock full.
I know I've heard of some others down south that folks are always complaining about 'em. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I live in the south Jordan Riverton area. Cutler is a little far for a day trip for me. I have heard the bear river is a blast I want to get up there this year.
I'll be trying deer creek and Jordan river soon. And definitely still hit UL

For some reason I'm having a hell of a time catching carp right now. I slaughtered them last year at Pineview, Willard, and in a few various secret ponds and spillways. I haven't caught one in a real body of water since just before ice on. I've hooked a bunch of catfish on the fly while carp fishing, which is cool, but the golden bone fish has eluded me so far this year.
Thankfully, The Goddess and I have discovered a honey hole that produces them all year long...
Summer can't get here fast enough.

Sight fishing is important. Place the fly right in front and very little movement at times. Flies vary, but sparkle eggs or glow bugs, buggers. I like some heavy flies at times like with dumb bell eyes. They will also ht dries at times.

Hey you've got me beat. I've always wanted to catch a catfish on the fly but never have.
