Wow, I guess I need to get down and give UL a try. Too bad it's so far away.
I beleive Perchound was talking about Willard Bay though. Is the walleye population at Willard as strong as Utah Lake?
In my experience, walleyes are not near as good-a-eating from 5-6 pounds on up. Granted, I have never caught one out of UL or broke the 5 pound mark at Willard (lost her right at the net [pirate]). But a 5-6 pound plus walleye is usually sportin' some pretty old meat.
I know the Bear River walleye fishery could have used alot more selective harvest over the last 10 years. Not to mention a fishing closure of their spawning grounds . . . or at least a reduced limit.
Sounded like Perchound was pretty cool about his fellow fisheman's great catch though.
