I sit here and check out all of the listings for all of the fishing areas around Utah but find nothing about Deer Creek. I'm beginning to think nobody fishes there. Lets get this discusion going.
I have been out there twice and have done well for walleyes. Total fishing time has been about 4 hours and have landed 10 fish in the 2-5 lb range. How about everybody else?

I have been there 3 times since ice off - twice in a float tube, and once from the shore with my son. I have caught a total of about 10 rainbows. They were all nice fat, healthy fish, with the biggest being 17 inches. The last time I took my tube I tried for walleye. I didn't catch any walleye, but hooked a few trout. I threw jigs - maribou and plastic, in black and green - around the island, and on the west side out from the inlet. I have only fished for walleye once before (and caught one), but would sure like to learn how to catch them. If anyone is willing to share tips about catching walleye at Deer Creek from a float tube it would be much appreciated.

If you have a small electric trolling motor you should do well, If not it might be difficult in getting into the fish as covering ground is really necessary. Good luck! nutsforfish

WHEN I HAD A BOAT I WOULD FISH DEER CREEK WEEKLY. I WOULD CATCH WALLEYES WITH PUMPKIN COLOR JIGS. Curly tails and crawdad imitations would work good for me.
