[cool][#0000ff]I doubt there is a walleye fan in Utah whose heart is not beating a little faster with thoughts of renewing old acquaintances with those toothy critters soon. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Both Willard Bay and Utah Lake should soon see some prespawn walleyes munching on whatever they can find to build up some energy before the "spring fling". That includes slow fished plastics and marabous, but nothing beats a juice minnow floated up off the bottom on a corky.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have been watching Lindon Harbor and the lake around it. Last Friday I stopped by and there was still a thin layer of ice on the harbor, but open water out into the lake. I suspect that with the warm and the winds of the past couple of days that the ice inside is about gone too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am attaching a "cool" pic I took, looking out from the shoreline at the "bubbleup". You can see the marker buoys straight out. I plan to take my machete down and hack out a launch area for tubing soon. No need to pay the fees at the harbor and then have to kick several hundred yards out.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Have you checked Salem Pond yet? We are going to have to meet up and go play with those bad boys again this spring.[/#0000ff]
