Any of the marinas or major tributaries are the best places to start. Provo marina is a good one. For catfish, any sort of cut bait on the bottom is good. For white bass, spinners and bright colored curly tails.

Well, I'm just seeing this now, so sorry about that 😂 how'd you do? Bountiful is usually pretty tough this time of year. Super warm water and it's not stocked often. Fishing near the inlet is usually the best bet because the water is cooler.

@@BackyardBoyTV I got skunked. Lol but as you said. It's that time of year. Caught a little bait fish with the small net and used it for some cat fish later in the day. Had one hit but that was it.

Yeah man it's a rough fishery this time of year for sure. Coming up here in fall it'll pick up.

@@BackyardBoyTV I'm looking forward to that.

Not possible due to the soldier creek dam. Definitely an illegal introduction.

Yep

Probably not going to make that trip into a video as I only caught one fish, but... I've got something else on the lake trout subject coming... 😏

I live pretty close to it as well. I wish it was a better fishing spot 😂

@@BackyardBoyTV ik today I went and only caught sticks

I'd be super surprised if they poisoned it again with how popular of a fishery it is currently. They are going to do some netting and DNA testing here in the next few weeks so we'll see what that leads to. Pilot Peak cuts would be sweet!

It's been 6 months and l still can't believe it 😅

Pretty much yeah 😂 so unbelievable.

Hahaha thanks arvidson!

Absolutely man. Still can't believe it happened

You are allowed to harvest them with no limit. I was at the Utah Lake State Park.

Oh I've been fishing 😂 but with school I'm too cooped up to sit down and edit 😂

Yeah! Not a bad few hours!

Got to love some multi-species action!

Fr bruh, I'm mega musty 😭

Probably

Strawberry actually feeds into starvation so they can't get in naturally. But there's definitely a bunch of them in there!

If there's a way for them to thrive without negatively affecting the other species, I agree!

Yes I have! The Weber fishes pretty good year round.

Tube jig

Yes! New stuff coming soon!

Thanks!

Hey man, the rivers are running high right now due to runoff, so fishing will be tough for a while. Use jerkbaits and spinners anywhere there's a break in the current.

😂😂 this a product that has been recommended to me many times. Probably should invest.

Yeah shoot me a message on fishbrain. 🤙

@@BackyardBoyTV okay thannks

They're a super fun species! Wish we had more of them here in Utah. Thanks for the support I appreciate it! 👊

Bullfrog area

haha fr 😂😂

😂😂

@@BackyardBoyTV its pretty impressive ive always wondered how monster mike done it but he is a little fella

As soon as I can get back down there! Hopefully within the next year.

I wouldn't say that Utah considers them as a trash fish at all, especially considering all the work and resources that have gone into managing the reservoir just down the lake for trophy walleye. Yeah, walleye and trout can coexist without issues, but adding the population of walleye to a reservoir that doesn't have any can also certainly cause problems. It's not guaranteed, but it's certainly possible. Why risk ruining the amazing trout fishing in Strawberry when there's amazing walleye fishing just down the road?

@@BackyardBoyTV I agree Starvation is a fantastic Walleye lake. Why are there not more reservoirs like it? I'm arguing if there were more lakes featuring Walleye then people wouldn't participate in bucket biology. You can introduce sterile Walleye to lakes the same way they do Rainbows. The DWR likes trout because they are easy to catch, and recently has been obsessed with adding Kokanee everywhere. Rockport is chock full of undersized perch why not put some Walleye in that lake? Why not put some in Jordanelle? The only reason they are in Deer Creek/Echo is because of bucket biologist. Clearly people want the opportunity to fish for Walleye or this wouldn't keep happening. I wish the DWR were more transparent on how they decide on which species they are going to stock in any given reservoir. I agree Strawberry is a premier trout lake and that's fine. Why not mix it up at some of these other reservoirs that are not blue ribbon fisheries. Walleye are delicious and are challenging/rewarding fish to catch.

If you think about it, there are a good amount of walleye lakes in utah. Willard, Starvation, and Powell are pretty consistent producers. As well as Big Sandwash, Lake Boreham, Echo, Deer Creek, and yuba bringing success to a lot of fisherman. Plus, the DWR has stocked sterile walleye in scofield in recent years. Considering we are in an area of the country that isn't known for walleye, I'd say we have plenty of opportunity for them. I am not a biologist however, so I obviously don't know all the logistics behind it. I'd assume it's expensive to manage the walleye we already have let alone adding more populations, but maybe that's not the case. Clearly the DWR has their reasons behind where or where they don't stock walleye and I'm happy to sit back and let them make that decision. And in all reality, bucket biology is something that will happen regardless of the density of a species in a state. For example: The green sunfish, bluegill and green sunfish that were illegally stocked in kolob reservoir. There's a lot of lakes with those species and someone still dumped them in kolob.

@@BackyardBoyTV You are able to name less than 10 lakes across the entire state that have Walleye. 2 of them Echo/Deer Creek they were introduced illegally. Now name all the lakes that are stocked with trout. We are in an area of the country that is now known for rainbow trout despite the fact that they are not native to Utah either. A few more Walleye lakes wouldn't hurt. After all these are man made lakes and the fish are stocked for anglers to enjoy.

The same way that idaho, colorado, Montana, and most of the other surrounding states are known for trout. I'm assuming the DWR is prioritizing trout because they're easier to manage. Now I love walleye as much as the next guy and would love to see them in more lakes. But clearly there's reasons why the DWR doesn't stock walleye in more of our lakes. And it is what it is.
