I have fished Utah Lake many more times than once, even back in the day when it had the reputation of being polluted. My success rate has generally been only so-so, but I'll admit that warm-water fishing is not my strength. (I am more of an alpine lake fisherman)
I really enjoyed an outing at UL with my young son last summer, and we would like to fish there more often, but I also want the catching to be more consistent for us when we do.
Over the years I have noticed that Utah Lake generally fishes poorly for a few days after storms, at least for me. I've always blamed the wind.
My question is this:
What kind of storms kill the fishing at Utah Lake? Is it mainly storms with lots of wind? What about just a plain rain storm, that doesn't bring a lot of other fuss with it? Is it a matter of low barometric pressure? Any other thoughts?
