• Utah Lake
  The walleye are spawning at both Utah Lake and Willard Bay, throw into rocky structure near the inlets. The bait of choice is curly tail jigs in the wally world or june bug colors. Rapala's or Lucky Craft lures are also working well.
• Middle Provo River
  Great dry fly fishing between noon and three P.M. The blue winged olives are hatching, and fish are feeding on them regularly, try throwing the Blue Ribbon Cripple in a size 18 or a sparkle dun. Midges are also still around and fishing well. For all the nmyphers out there, blue winged olive nymphs and emergers are working well in size 18. The Blister Baetis and Juju Baetis are some good options. With the snow melting and the water levels rising a San Juan Worm is a good anchor fly.
• Lower Provo River
  Baetis season is upon us! Fish are still keying on midges mid-morning to early afternoon, then switching to Baetis from mid to late afternoon. Nymphing with #16-18 Zebra Midges, #16-20 Barr's Emergers, #16-18 Psycho Mays, #14-18 Sow Bugs. Dry and emerger action good on #18 Befus Emergers, #16-20 Sprout Baetis, #16-20 Blue Winged Olive Parachutes, #18-20 Griffith's Gnat's and Mating Midges.
• Weber River
  Fishing has been good between the reservoirs. A variety of nymphs have been getting the job done. Not much surface activity has been seen. #14-16 Sow Bugs, baetis nymphs, #8-10 Stonefly Nymphs. With the water levels fluctuating, San Juan Worms would be a good choice.
• Strawberry Reservoir
  Still frozen with roughly 20" of ice covering the reservoir. Anticipate ice off near the end of April to the beginning of May.
• Deer Creek
  The lake is now totally open and fishing well towards the inlet. Use Jakes Spin-A-Lures, garlic power bait, and black tube jigs. For those wanting to fly fish, try stripping a Crystal Killer, Purple Buggers, or Hot Head Wooly Buggers (black with chartreuse head).
