[cool][#0000ff]That's not too farfetched. In the "olden days", when there was water in Utah Lake, and the "Mud Lake" area near the airport was fully flooded, there would sometimes be big hatches of bugs out of the mud in the evening. Walleyes and white bass would feed on them after dark.
Also, used to catch lots of channel cats in the spring, about May, when the stone fly nymphs washed down the Provo river. There were several holes below riffles that a stone fly nymph imitation would get a cat on every cast. Again, that was when there used to be water in the river.
In late summer, in calm areas, you should be able to at least pick up some bluegills on hoppers or poppers. And, largemouths will smack topwater, including hair bugs and poppers. Fish near structure.
