Okay I hit all three yesterday. It's too late for the early crappie bite at Pineview. This is the first year in many that I missed it. Got distracted with those utah lake walleyes. I'm mad. I heard that they were 14- 15 inches. The water is very high the roadbed on huntsville side is in the middle of the bay with the water about 1/2 mile almost all the way to the east shore. There was not a soul there except for me. I also waded out into the swim beach willows. No a single fish except for a lousy Mirror carp that almost ruined my jig. Willard wipers are hitting on the dikes, I'm being purposely vague about which dike. I nailed two in about an hour or so. One was 17 the other 20 inches. Pretty slow but okay. Kaysville is a , , story. Seeing how the dredging ruined all the bankside bedding cover almost brings tears. There is now about a 12 foot steep mud wall were there used to be reeds, rocks and bass beds. Sure, the bass somehow survived, but they have nowhere to bed now. It sucks. They were running 4-6 lbs before dredging. Saw a few small channels caught, but caught nothing myself. The fish rising in the middle are not bass as some posters think but merely planter bows. They rise the same way at Willow pond. They were much more uncooperative, though.

There is a truck sitting in the middle of one of the Kaysville ponds right now. It came off of I-15 and into the drink. Driver got out okay. The roof of the pick-up is under water. That ought to help fishing, eh?

The crappie bite at pineveiw usually doesn't start until after willards already had their spawning crappies finish up...

i have to disagree with you just a little yesterday when i was at kaysville ponds i did a little exploring of the north pond and i saw plenty of suitable area for the bass to spawn what little i saw of the middle pond i agree did not look good for bass to spawn

I agree that the pineview crappie haven't come in yet they need a week of good weather first. I think that some move in after to or three days of good weather but then go down agin when the clouds and rains come. So thats been the few stagglers being caught.
