It isn't often I would tell anyone to go to Deer Creek but I will pass along this chance for all you fisherman that need to get the Dust off the boat cover.

Drove by Deer Creek on Sunday and the reservior is wide open - the water has risen enough to make the island an island and almost cover the far end of the lake.

The temps have been in the mid 40's and the active fish should be up in the shallows. According to Angler's Edge - early spring is time for the three S's - SLOW, SHALLOW, & SMALL.

One thing be be aware of is the road construction has started. Both ends of Deer Creek have major earth moving equipment and they have broken ground. New retaining fences have been put up and road conditon in both Provo Canyon and around the lake will only get worse.

Trout fishing should be good and water levels should continue to rise. See you on the water.

OK I guess I can post now. Deer Creek has the best conditions in years right now. Don't wxpect it to last too long. There is still ice at the west end of the lake(same as it has been most of the winter) between the damn and the first big hump after the Bouey.

Fish there the last few work days, twice in the morning and three times on the way home. Fishin is still slow. It seems to be picking up though. This after, pitching ponies along the shore and the ice edge. I picked up a couple of trout, nothing to scream about. Wayyyy beter than getting skunked again. And no I wasn't by the damn it is fenced off because of the rock slide the construction will be causing. I can't wait!!
In another 2 weeks the island should really be an island again. Yes there is water all the way around, but ankle deep dosn't to count. LOL Last thursday it was narrow enough you could step over it. By Sat you had to jump, and today you have to wade.

For those who don't mind a hike, north side of the Wallsberg channel. For us floaters pack it down and paddle it.

So are you saying there is no ice ? I went by saturday and Wallsburg , Rainbow bay and by the dam was holding ice . Ice did not look good for me to walk except up by the dam and it looked a little scary .Lots of water on the ice . I would be careful of icebergs floating if out boating .
