Thanks. I'll be there as often as I can...probably starting in May. Hit it last week and only got 1 perch and 3 cats. Still needs to warmup a bit for the walleyes and wipers.
Thanks. I appreciate your appreciation. Yes, I have put up a few videos on lure making.

I used to. And did marginally well on all species. But there are much better ice fishing lakes in Utah and I quit ice fishing a few years ago. My old legs can handle a modest amount of float tubing...with electric motor assist...but they ain't up to slogging across large expanses of ice and snow all day.
Not surprising. But I'm sure she was surprised. Willard is fed by a canal that funnels in water from the Weber and Ogden Rivers. So anything living in the lakes and rivers upstream can wash down into Willard. That's where the smallmouth and the perch came from. There have also been isolated catches of tiger muskies. There have been quite a few trout caught out of Willard...but usually only under the ice or early in the spring before water temps get too warm. Most trout won't live in Willard past about July.
Yes they will...if you can find a concentration of perch. But perch populations have been down in Starvation for a few years. So you usually have to cover a wider area with "search" techniques to find some fish. However, I have done very well on them in the fall in the upper end of Rabbit Gulch...as well as off the exposed islands on the north side of Rabbit Gulch directly opposite of the camp area at road's end. Another good place to use this tactic is along the shoreline above the bridge and even around the pilings of the bridge. As always, it helps to have good sonar to help find the fish...and see how deep they are holding. Also, the perch in Starvation respond well to worms so you don't need minnows.
I was also wondering if you sell your lures that you make I live in Vernal I have never been up your direction before what I would love to buy some of those
I don't have a big commercial operation, but I do make extras to share or sell. I work cheap and I'm worth it. I have several lure junky customers who order online and I mail their stuff to them. I take Paypal. Send me an email at tdude@centurylink.net and let me know what lures you might be interested in. I will send pics of the ones available and the prices. I also have a PDF file writeup available on Fishing Starvation. No charge.

Thanks for the great video! I wish I lived closer to WB, I’d love to fish it more.
I live in Salt Lake..about an hour away. And I wish I lived closer too.
Great stuff! 👍🏻 😊
Thanks.
Very educational and well put. Love the videos. Have you made a video on how to make your hooks/jigs?

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience. Do you ice fish Willard at all?

Great job and Thank you
Thanks. And you're welcome.
My wife caught a nice Brown Trout ice fishing at Willard last year.

This is a Great Educational video do these tactics also work well at Starvation Reservoir
