[size 1]BEAR LAKE: Biologist Scott Tolentino says that fishing has slowed down, however he heard reports of good fishing on November 4. Scott fished on Nov. 3 without catching a fish-just a week after he "had the best fishing I've ever had on the lake," he said. He expects slow fishing until after Thanksgiving, then expects fishing to pick up again by about the first of December for whitefish.
BIRCH CREEK RESERVOIR: Fishing for tiger trout is still being reported as good. One angler reported using baits like salmon eggs and worms. Spinners and streamers are also good choices.
CAUSEY RESERVOIR: The water is at least 150 feet from the road down the steep, rocky face of the dam. There are no reports of fishing activity and the place was barren of anglers when I stopped by on October 31. Now would be a good time to target splake with silver-colored lures like Kastmasters.
EAST CANYON: Fishing was good with baits.
HYRUM RESERVOIR: Fishing success has slowed down with a few small rainbows reported being caught by an angler who fished for several hours.
LOST CREEK RESERVOIR: DWR Lt. Scott Davis reported that anglers were having success for rainbow trout from 10 to 16 inches.
MANTUA RESERVOIR: One angler reported fair fishing for bluegill and had some great photos to show for his morning outing with his family.
OGDEN RIVER: The South Fork has very light fishing activity, especially during the week but anglers fishing the warm, sunny afternoons have had surface action and beautiful days afield.
NEWTON RESERVOIR: DWR surveys conducted last week showed that the reservoir was loaded with fish! One angler reported catching 200 "keeper-sized" fish.
PINEVIEW RESERVOIR: Fishing activity has seemed to taper off, yet the DWR annual gill netting survey showed plenty of fish. Biologist Ben Nadolski was optimistic about the number and age classes of fish he saw and anticipates that anglers will be happy with ice fishing this winter.
SMITH AND MOREHOUSE RESERVOIR: This is a beautiful late fall fishing spot that offers spectacular views of the Uinta Mountains. A couple of anglers trolled worms from kick-boats and good fishing.
WEBER RIVER: Good fishing was reported from Coalville on down through Uintah and South Weber.
WOODRUFF RESERVOIR: Fishing success was reported to be good for nice cutthroats up to 16 inches. [/size]
