Hey guys, I’ve been in school in Idaho for a couple years but I have returned to Utah. However I have never lived in Utah county. Any advice on the lakes around here? THe ones I know if are Utah lake obviously and then deer creek and jordenelle up the canyon. I don’t know these lakes well. Not looking for secret spots, I can find my own but what has been biting recently? I’m headed to deer creek soon, is it mainly trout? Any little bits of knowledge help
I haven’t been here too long. But Deer creek can be a good place to catch a good amount of 12-15 inch trout. Personally I enjoy going after smallies and walleye there though as well. Spinners, jigs, crankbait, all the usual stuff works.
May want to expand your roaming area a bit and hit Strawberry, can be fun. Later J
Welcome back to Utah! Strawberry is also my favorite, though I’ve never taken anything out of it on the order of the fish pictured in the preceding post!
I moved from Idaho as well if I were you I would take one lake specifically and learn it before you try other lakes. I moved and tried fishing Utah lake deer creek and strawberry and other lakes and couldn’t figure stuff out till this year. I really took time to learn Deer Creek but it’s not everyone’s favorite water to fish, mostly because they are smaller trout and in the summer there are boaters everywhere on the water so at this point if you enjoy cat fishing or white bass fishing I would take time to learn Utah lake and then move from there. Jordanelle would be another good spot and the kokes have been alright as far as I heard lately! Welcome to Utah and I hope you have luck!
