It has been my expirience that the cahce valley and northern wasatch front area has historically been good for panfish, the problem is that it hasnt been consistent.
By that, I mean to say that places like hyrum used to have great perch fishing. Newton used to have great gill, crappie, and bass fishing. Cutler is still largely overlooked by most anglers and holds some great fishing. Of course, you mentioned willard and pineview.
Mostly what I see is that these places have at one time had thier great moments, but they faded as the fish were overharvested, or as the habitat was ruined, or as the water dried up.
I personally could care less if there were crappie in mantua. Dont really care for the perch in there either. I am just still ticked off that they destroyed that fishery by poisoning the lake so they could try thier self admitted "failed" expiriment with kamloops.
