I have a small green LED stick that I hook to a lantern battery. I can get about 7 full nights of fishing. It worked great at Powell over the summer. My sons and I were catching non stop off the fishing docks while others around us were not. There was noticeably more baitfish and predators moving through the green light area. The white lights around the docks drew fish but also lots of bugs. Having a light 15-20 ft down eliminated the bugs.
I used it on Willard once this year after dark and found a few Wipers but I can't say if the light was the factor. I couldn't brave the mosquitoes long enough to really let the light soak for more than an hour.
There is a great write up on fishing with lights on the Wayne's Words page in his pile of techniques articles.
Yes it is legal in Utah. Underwater lights are not legal for spear fishing though.
I would think it would work catching Crappie through the ice, but usually if they are not on the sonar when you set up they won't be there.
