Jordan River for me. There are sections they pile up in.

Depends on your definition of "close" - as in to what? If UL is your "close" - Sadly it's my "far". But it should be a good choice.

Willard is full of 'em. Up my neck of the woods Cutler and Bear River are chock full.

I know I've heard of some others down south that folks are always complaining about 'em. Maybe someone else can chime in.
I live in the south Jordan Riverton area. Cutler is a little far for a day trip for me. I have heard the bear river is a blast I want to get up there this year.

I'll be trying deer creek and Jordan river soon. And definitely still hit UL

For some reason I'm having a hell of a time catching carp right now. I slaughtered them last year at Pineview, Willard, and in a few various secret ponds and spillways. I haven't caught one in a real body of water since just before ice on. I've hooked a bunch of catfish on the fly while carp fishing, which is cool, but the golden bone fish has eluded me so far this year.

Thankfully, The Goddess and I have discovered a honey hole that produces them all year long...

Summer can't get here fast enough.

You bet!, but as soon as MY secret spots turn on, expect a quick message. The water is starting to clear in one of them.....Awwww Carpage, the other white meat...LOL

what tye of flys do you use for carp. I have tried to catch some at bear lake on a fly rod, but havent had much luck. Is there a specail fly or technique.

Sight fishing is important. Place the fly right in front and very little movement at times. Flies vary, but sparkle eggs or glow bugs, buggers. I like some heavy flies at times like with dumb bell eyes. They will also ht dries at times.

Hey you've got me beat. I've always wanted to catch a catfish on the fly but never have.
