Hey everyone,
I'm planning a fishing trip to Sand Hollow this weekend. I'm originally from the Orem area but I am living in Las Vegas now. I've heard wonderful things about Sand Hollow and I want to give it a try.
Does anyone have any advise on place to fish (I'm shore bound right now), lures or techniques that are effective on reservoir? Any and all advise is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Does anyone know if I have to pay the park entrance fee if I am fishing the lake but not using the marinas. I know that when I went to Deer Creek I won't have to pay the park entrance fee if I was fishing on the shore and not launching a boat. Just curious, I don't care either way. I just want to fish [fishon] [sly]

Hey guys, just want to give an update on my first trip to sand hollow. I hit the lake around 7am. Gave the shallows a try at first with a popper. I got a couple of good strikes but I couldn't get a taker. So I decided to move down the dam to deeper water. I found a huge clump of grass and saw some huge bass hanging out there. So I started throwing a spinner to get a feel for where the fish where holding to. I got some good solid strikes but I wasn't able to hookup the fish. So I switched to a Texas rig swim bait and bam fish on. It was a good 3 lbs lmb. Now I was getting excited but after that first fish I could not get another taker. So I switched to a wacky rig senko. Made a long cast to deep water. Bam, another good 3 lbs lmb. I re-rigged another wacky worm, casted, and hooked up with a dink. Another cast and another dink. After that fishing cooled down and the weather got too hot. So I called it a day after 3 hours of fishing. Also caught a bunch of blue gill after the bass stopped biting. Overall, good day of fishing and great first time fishing sand hollow. Definitely will have to give another try.
