[quote Hnaf]Sounds like a near perfect trip and time well spent. Nice to be able to fish somewhere close and have a good selection of species to enjoy.[/quote]

[cool][#0000ff]Poor old Utah Lake gets very little respect from the local angling community, but it really does offer some great fishing opportunities.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]4 species in a day is nothing. I have doubled that on Utah Lake...using essentially the same lure in the same area. Even though carp comprise 90 percent of the lake's biomass, there are so many fish of so many other species that it is possible to do the "double slime" if you are good...and lucky. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Here is at least a partial list of what you could conceivably catch on a good day:[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]White Bass[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Largemouth Bass[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Smallmouth Bass[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Yellow Perch[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Bluegill[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Green Sunfish[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Black Crappie[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Black Bullhead[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Channel Catfish[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Walleye[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Carp[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Sucker[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Plus, the occasional brown or rainbow trout that wander down one of the tributaries...mainly in the cooler months and under the ice in winter.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There have been numerous other species planted in Utah Lake but which have never shown up since. One example is the northern pike. There are reports of one here and there, but not recently.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There are also the "exotics", like the pacu...a relative of the piranha from South America.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Utah Lake is like a box of choklits...ya never know what yer gonna git.[/#0000ff]
