[#0000FF]Deer Creek has plenty of surface cruisers that are about as spooky as brown trout. But if you get out early in the morning...while they are surface slurping...you can find some takers. Later in the day they sometimes cruise near shore. And when the water levels are up the "flats" between the island and Charleston can show you some fish.
For some of the best "clean water" carp on a flyrod you should hit Starvation. The Rabbit Gulch area has large areas of "flats" with weed growth and plenty of carp. They also get to be real tanks and can put a serious bend in your stick. Oh yeah, if you get tired of carp there are lotsa nice rainbows in the same area.
There are a couple of areas on Utah Lake that are probably best for chasing carp on shallow presentations. First is the shallow weedy area just north of Lindon Harbor...where Battle Creek comes in...just off the waste transfer station. Second is the big shallow flats area just south of the boat channel dikes at Lincoln Beach. Almost always carp either on the surface or cruising the shallows in less than 3 feet of water.
