[black][size 3]In Utah, walleyes are a numerous as elephants. Unlike many states, we don't have a real "walleye factory".[/size][/black]

[size 3]I can only offer you my personal experience with those critters. I have fished for them for many years, and used several methods. I have to say the the most successful method for me has been trolling a bottom bouncer with a spinner/worm rig.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]The spring spawn will increase the chances of the angler. It provides a smaller area to find them. [/size]

[size 3]I have been a fan of walleye since the 60's, and have caught them with several methods, but none as successful as the method described above.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[black][size 3]For a while, fishing with a streamer off of the swim beach at Utah Lake was good in the spring, then the lake flooded, and that fishery disappeared. Now I troll the edges of Willard (when it has water), troll Yuba in the spring, and sometimes, troll around the island at Utah Lake.[/size][/black]

[size 3]I understand that the walleye fishery at Lake Powell is coming on pretty well, but have not fished for them there.[/size]

Yes it is, hard not to catch one when targeting them.

Never caught one on a bouncer. Always on cranks.[

These are great for walleye, although some folks seem to have a problem tuning them. I don't.

Pick the model that's going to dive to the depth you want. Willard's a shallow bathtub. I can catch all the walleye I want at Willard with a Little Ripper (7' deep). The Blue Hawaiian is probably my favorite color but many other colors work too. RipSticks (12' deep) would probably be good for Willard too but I haven't tried them yet and they may bump the bottom too much.
