Utah Lake Saturday, Deer Creek Sunday

[walleyebob]

Fished Lincoln beach area on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning until the storm got nasty. Water temp was 41 to 43. Five walleye were caught on Friday. Two on Thin Fins, two on Rapalas, and one on a 3" chartreuse jig. All in about 8' of water. The guy that got the most fish, three of them, was trolling about 1.2 mph and just cruising around out in the flats. Away from any structure.
Only two boats launched Saturday. I caught a couple mud cats and the other guy didn't get anything. It got really windy and we both left early.
Sunday morning, me and my fishing buddy headed up to Deer Creek. I had a friend call me the other day and he told me about a guy catching a limit of Walleyes near sailboat beach last Sunday. We fished that area with no luck. Then the camera quit working. Fished everywhere we could. Tried jigs, Lindy rigs, and Rapalas. Caught a couple good sized hatchery pets. No Perch or Walleye.
The open water area is from sailboat beach on the south end, up to the south point at rainbow bay, and about 1/4 of Wallsburg bay.
Oh, and water temp was 36 in the morning and 38 when we left, fishless.

Hey walleye,



are the white bass still in the marinas and catchable from shore? I remember reading one of your reports about the sunnies. i was curious what would be the best method to go after them. I would really like a mount of a sunnie around a pound or so. thanks for any info\

Hey WH2, the biggest Walleye was about eight to nine pounds. Last Tuesday a 10.5 was caught by one of my friends, trolling a Thin Fin. They got ten Walleye last week alltogether. Only one was under the 20" slot. The Walleye tournament could be interesting with only big fish showing up.
Haven't seen a White Bass caught for a while. But I haven't spent too much time around the warm springs.

Hey Chuck, its all open water. And its deeper. The water has come up over the little island at the warm springs. Most of the Walleye have been caught near the spot you and I anchored the second time last year. South West of the "L" and out past the dropoff. We got snow here last night, so, if you go, take a bag of salt for the ramp.


good luck
