Rocky is right. I always say that there are more walleye caught "on accident" than on purpose. And I also catch a lot more while casting small jigs for white bass or crappies than when I specifically target them.

As has been mentioned, walleyes live in quite a few Utah Waters. But the most and biggest are probably in Utah Lake. Best places to try are around the rock dikes of the harbors...especially during April and May. But a lot of "wading warriors" catch good numbers at several spots around Lincoln Beach.
Walleyes will hit a wide range of baits and lures...including spinners, crankbaits and plastics. But the guys who consistently do best are the ones who fish plastics with light gear and finesse tactics. Here is a PDF writeup I put together a couple of years ago that should provide some help. After that it is a matter of good luck and good timing...to find the fish and get them to play with you.
