Crayfish, Brown Trout, Green Sunfish, Rainbow Trout
(Feb 2) There is no ice on the reservoir and fishing success is slow. The winter can be a good time to target brown trout with minnow-imitating lures and flies.
Bear Lake
Cisco, Cutthroat Trout, Mackinaw (Lake Trout), Rainbow Trout, Whitefish
STOP WHIRLING DISEASE
(Jan 27) Biologist Scott Tolentino reports that as of January 24, Bear Lake is 100 percent ice-free. Cisco are running well off the Utah State Park marina, but it has been slow off Cisco Beach—likely due to all the trees and vegetation in the water. Anglers have been able to dipnet limits of cisco in just a few minutes off the marina. Mornings are typically good, but anglers are dipping limits throughout the entire day for the last three days. It helps to have waders or hip boots and if it is windy, the cisco will not come in along the shoreline. Boat launching is available at the Utah State Park marina, 1st Point and the Rainbow Cove ramp. All boat ramps have courtesy docks in place at this time, but they can become iced over and slippery so extra caution is needed. Anglers continue to catch limits of cisco off the rockpile in about an hour in 45-50 feet of water. They are also picking up a few whitefish and cutthroat trout while jigging for cisco. Other good spots to try for trout are the areas off at 2nd Point and the pump house. Good depths to target have been about 75-85 feet, but you may want to try shallower water as the cutthroat will follow cisco into the weedy area in 25-35 feet of water. If you are trolling, try minnow-type lures—they are proving to be the most effective. If you are jigging, try castmasters or other vertical jigging spoons for cisco and whitefish. Use lead head jigs tipped with cisco for the trout. The cisco run and conditions update will be made at least every other day and will continue until the run is over; we expect it to go through next weekend. Call the Bear Lake office after 5 p.m. for up-to-date lake conditions at 435-946-8501 .

Beaver Mountain Lakes
Rainbow Trout
(Feb 2) Conservation officer Brent Farnsworth reports that access to the Beaver Mountain lakes is limited. Kent's Lake has been accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles, but the road is now snow-packed. SR-153 has been plowed to Puffer Lake. Anderson Meadow and Labaron are accessible by snowmobile only. All of the lakes are frozen and we have reports of active ice anglers. Kent's Lake and Puffer Lake are receiving the most pressure. There are no reports of fishing success, but you should expect slow fishing.
Beaver River
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout
STOP WHIRLING DISEASE
(Feb 2) Lower: Conservation officer Brent Farnsworth reports that the river has been receiving almost-daily fishing pressure below Minersville Reservoir. These warm winter days have encouraged anglers to try winter stream fishing. There is a small amount of water being released from Minersville Reservoir, so the water flows in the river are a little higher than normal for this time of year. The higher water flows help fishing by giving the fish a little more cover, so they aren't quite as wary.
Upper: Conservation officer Brent Farnsworth reports that water flows are low and clear. There is a lot of anchor ice, especially in the upper stretches of the river. The lower stretches, near the mouth of Beaver Canyon, have some fishable stretches. Fish are wary, though, so use stealth when approaching the stream.

Anglers were having success fishing about ten feet down from the surface of the ice. Some of anglers had success with a wax worm on a lead head jig or ratfinkee. Other anglers did well with a white split tail jig and a wax worm. The fish were up to 18 inches long.
East Fork of Sevier River
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout
(Feb 2) Kingston Canyon: Mild weather is keeping the river ice-free, but this could change at any time. Focus your fishing efforts on reaches of the river that have a little gradient and some riffle-pool sequences, which are where the river alternates between shallower and deeper water. Slow-moving areas have less oxygen in the winter and fewer fish. The Circle Valley Anglers fly shop recommends egg patterns, small midges and large streamers.
Black Canyon: Spring water inflow keeps Black Canyon mostly ice-free in the winter. The river has been a little murky, so the Circle Valley Anglers fly shop recommends larger streamer patterns. The key to success is to quickly get your fly deep in the current.
Upper: Fishing success is slow and there is little fishing pressure because of poor access.
Regulations
Echo Reservoir
Bass, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Crappie, Rainbow Trout
(Jan 27) Conservation Officer Rustin Nielsen reports slow fishing. Anglers had the best success using tube jigs tipped with mealworms. The fish seemed to be cruising at about 16-20 feet deep. The ice is 10-12 inches thick. Fishermen should use caution getting onto the ice. The first few feet of ice from the shoreline are soft.

Fish Lake
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Mackinaw (Lake Trout), Splake (hybrid), Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch
STOP WHIRLING DISEASE
(Feb 2) The south end of the lake has eight to 14 inches of safe ice. The ice on the north end has struggled and there is currently less than two inches. Last weekend, a snowmobile went through the ice on the north end. The rider had to be rescued and taken to the hospital. DO NOT fish on the lake north of Fish Lake Lodge until the ice gets thicker. For up-to-date road and ice conditions, call the lodge at 435–638-1000.
The ice on the south end is safe to ATVs and snowmobiles. There is a lot of concentrated fishing pressure on the south end since that is the only half of the lake that is fishable. Anglers report that fishing success varies from fair to fast, depending on the area you fish. Fishing action is fast for perch and good for smaller trout near the weeds in 10 to 15 feet of water. Try using jigs and ice flies tipped with mealworms, nightcrawlers or perch meat. Anglers report catching more rainbow trout than splake this year. Trout fishing is usually best before noon, but it can stay fair all day. Try moving out to 20 to 40 feet of water to target larger splake and rainbows. You can also find these fish suspended at the same depth over deeper water. You can find small lake trout, and an occasional larger fish, in depths of anywhere from 50 to 100 feet. For lake trout, use larger jigs tipped with pieces of perch, chub or sucker meat and add a healthy dose of patience. A fish finder can be invaluable tool for finding lake trout.
(Jan 22) Chris of South Jordan fished the south end. "The three of us caught 80 fish in a day and a half, we fished in 65 feet of water but all the fish were caught between 12-20 feet under the ice, we graphed fish deeper but we could never get them to bite. All fish were 12-18 inches and fat; great fighters!"

Flaming Gorge Reservoir
Brown Trout, Burbot, Channel Catfish, Crayfish, Kokanee Salmon, Mackinaw (Lake Trout), Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass
(Jan 27) Safe ice has not been reported in Utah. There is good open-water fishing for the trout species from the shore and boats.
Lake trout: Lake trout fishing has been good to excellent with anglers finding fish almost everywhere. Ice anglers fishing the northern arms are doing well for the pups. In Utah, anglers fishing the shore for rainbows in 15 to 20 feet of water have also caught lake trout. Schools of pups have been reported down around 60 to 100 feet. If you can find a school, the hits will be fast but light. A good line (fluorocarbon or braid) helps you feel the strike and get a good hook-set when jigging. You can help the Flaming Gorge fishery by harvesting a limit of smaller lake trout. The limit is eight fish, with one over 28 inches.
Kokanee salmon: Not hearing much about kokanee. Water temperatures have cooled down so fish could be anywhere. Although the DWR has stocked millions of kokanee over the last few years, the population remains low due to predation by lake trout and burbot. Anglers need to harvest small lake trout and burbot to reduce their impact on kokanee.
Rainbow trout: Anglers report good to excellent fishing from the shoreline and from boats (casting and trolling). A boat is essential to access most of the reservoir; however, there is shore fishing near the visitor center (by the dam) and by the boat ramps. Fish can be anywhere including close to shore. Look for schools near cliffs, points and submerged ridges in about 10 to 60 feet of water.
Smallmouth bass: Bass fishing has been slow. It's mostly over until next summer; however, an angler caught one a few weeks ago at 70 feet while jigging for lake trout.
Burbot: Anglers are catching burbot through the ice in the northern arms and from shore and boats in Utah. Some of these fish are over eight pounds. Try fishing for a few hours, starting around sunset, along the rocky points and cliffs near the main channel. Burbot hit during the day, but they become more active during the twilight hours. Fish the bottom or just slightly above it in depths from 10 to 50 feet. Use just about anything that glows (spoons, tube jigs, curly-tailed jigs, minnow jigs) and tip it with some type of bait. Place your baits close to the bottom and recharge the glow frequently. It is common to catch a fish immediately after re-glowing and dropping a lure. You'll help the Flaming Gorge fishery by harvesting as many burbot as possible. There is no limit on burbot. The 2012 Burbot Bash has been scheduled for January 25 to 28.

(Jan 27) Anglers have shifted over to their winter presentations and many are using a double rig with a large fish imitation with a scud, shrimp or imitation salmon egg trailer. Often the fish are attracted to the larger presentation and then hit the smaller. On windy days, anglers who use lures have been more successful because it's easier to cast. Try Rapalas (floating, countdown and husky jerk), spinners, spoons, black, brown or olive marabou jigs, and plastic jigs.

First fish was around 1:00pm on a tip-up set just 4 feet under the ice. We had dozens of bites and alot of fish on the line but had a hard time getting solid hook-sets. 5 of the 6 rainbows were caught on my tip-up. make sure you use sharp hooks and fish just a few feet under the ice."
(Jan 27) Park Ranger Steve Bullock reports recent rain, warmer temperatures and flooding in Cache Valley have caused ice around the edge of Hyrum Reservoir to melt. Colder temperatures have begun to re-freeze the edges. Access to the ice sheet is more difficult, but possible. Use caution when accessing the ice. Fishing has slowed due to muddy runoff, but is expected to get better as temperatures drop and the water clears.

(Feb 2) There is no snow in the area, so access is good. The ice is about a foot thick, but several spots of open water have appeared on the points along the west shore. Please use caution in these areas: Even if they freeze over again, the ice will be thin. Watch for soft edges around any shoreline in the afternoon. Anglers report slow to fair fishing, but they are catching quality-sized fish that are in good condition. Fishing success varies depending on the time of day, the water depth and the technique. The key to finding success is to keep changing location, depth, technique or time of day until you find something that works. Since the reservoir has been full all year, fish are not as hungry as they normally would be in the winter and they may be less concentrated as well. Don't hesitate to try a location or depth you normally would not have in the past. Some of the best fishing success has been on the north end and along the east shore. Fishing tends to be better in the morning.

The lower water level means that fish are likely more stressed than normal and will be less likely to bite. Some anglers have found limited success along the north shore. Fishing on the south end has been very slow. Keep changing your location, depth, technique and bait until you find something that works. Remember that all cutthroat and tigers between 15 and 22 inches must be released.
(Jan 14) Cliff and Norm caught 2 rainbows, 1 cutt, and one tiger trout using white jigs with mealworms.

STOP QUAGGAG MUSCLE
(Feb 2) Bass activity slows down during winter, so you need to adjust your fishing techniques. The primary key to cold water bass fishing is slowing down the presentation, or even to use the dead-stick technique. Try using plastics (like senkos), swimbaits, hula grubs and drop-shots with the right presentation. A drop-shot rig is one of the more popular cold weather techniques because of its natural slow presentation. Concentrate on deeper water at 20 to 30 feet. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits can also be effective during the warmest part of the day. Quagga mussels are present in Sand Hollow, so plan extra time to have your boat washed before leaving.
