Yellow Perch!

[wagdog]

I believe others have suggested Utah Lake. Not sure how far of a drive that is for you but if you are wanting good candidates for chowder, Utah Lake has plenty. Bluegill, black crappie, white bass, and yellow perch all do well in chowder or run through some cornmeal and hot grease. To date I have caught just a handful of yellow perch at Utah Lake when the water is soft. The hard deck is a different story. There is not a massive yellow perch population like at Fish Lake but you can catch some at Utah Lake through the ice. You'll also be able to yank in white bass, crappie, and gills which are great table fare. I would say that bluegill and crappie taste very similar to yellow perch. At least that is what my taste buds tell me. A pot of white bass chowder ain't no slouch either.
