Fishing the Weber yesterday around noon. Water was really low in most spots, but stumbled upon a deeper pool where you could see easily 50+ fish all grouped together (looked like a mix of white fish and browns) I got within casting distance without spooking them, but couldn’t get them to touch anything. I was mostly using lures.
Is this just a winter problem where they’re less aggressive? Was I there at the wrong time of the day? They didn’t surface a single time so I don’t think a fly would have been any better. I caught a brown up the river a little with a blue fox so I was really surprised when I couldn’t even get a bite.
You got have any favorite rivers to fish in the winter?? Missing fishing and warm weather
have*
Took a misstep on a steep slope and when I tried to jump onto a nearby rock to save myself, I had too much momentum and fell in to a little above my waist. Worst part is I was maybe there for 15 minutes…

Anyone have safe ice confirmed anywhere? I saw a YouTube video showing possible safe ice near Schofield. Any safe ice reports are appreciated.
Anyone else hit the ice yet this season?
What bait do you use for wipers there, all I catch is trout and bullheads, and sometimes bluegill
New to the area and looking to target carp on Utah lake. Anybody have suggestions on locations or baits?
Looking for a place to go for a couple hours tomorrow. Debating between these two currently (open to other ideas).
Which would you do, and do you know where at these places would be a good place to try?
I went up American Fork Canyon earlier mid-day, but was in a hurry and didn’t get to check out many places and didn’t get any bites.
Super new to fishing!
Anyone do this and is it possible? Picked up fishing this summer and love it but don’t want it to end. Invested enough money so don’t want to buy ice fishing equipment this year haha.
Anyway is it possible to lure or spinner fish the Weber in the winter? Don’t want the season to end 😂
The 24/25 ice fishing season has begun!
Anyone fished Sunset pond. Heard a while back from a guy at Scheels that it’s good bass fishing there. Anyone fished it lately?
Also wondering on 21st Pond.
Today I was fishing at Bountiful Pond, and honestly, I found a few things strange.
Some of the fish had issues with their fins.
One large trout had a bulging eye, and there was something sticking out of its body that seemed to have torn part of the fish. Possibly a parasite.
I released that fish, but I have a few questions since this is actually my first time fishing in America.
A) On the DWR website, there’s nothing mentioned about fish from this pond being unsafe to eat. Can I trust this information?
B) How do you personally determine which fish is safe to eat and which isn’t? Do experienced anglers just avoid certain places and go to specific locations where they know the fish is safe?
Now I’m in a strange situation: I caught the fish, but I’m not sure what to do with it because I’m worried it might not be safe to eat.
I’ll attach a video — I filmed it in Russian for my friends, but the visuals should help illustrate what I’m talking about
Ima be fishing the Provo river and I just needa know what the best lures or baits are. Thanks
Largest fish I've ever caught in the smallest water I've ever fished successfully (BCC in the valley). I could hardly believe it.
Has any one been there bank fishing and if how is whats the best bait to use there
So I want to go fishing on tomorrow but it's gonna be like 35-50 degrees outside. Idk if that's too cold. The river I'm going to mainly has brown trout but there's other trout. If I did go what lures/bait should I use
Caught 2 massive trout today out of cove pond in Herriman and harvested them. Some guy told me I shouldn’t eat fish out of here for some reason. I found an article about a fish kill here back in June of this year but can’t find any other updates. Is it safe to eat these trout?
Probably a long shot but I just moved to highland and the creek is walking distance.
Are rapalas banned in utah? Most of maybe all of them have the two treble hooks. I believe I read anything over three hooks is banned. Is that true, if so do you switch them to single hooks? Does it look action?
Just trying to understand the rules more here and not break any..
Any help appreciated thank you!
Kind of new to the area and to fishing. What's the best place to fish this time of year around St. George?
