The drainage "ditch" for the Provo Water Tx Plant goes under I15, south of the South University exit. There are two canals, one for the Tx Plant and another to drain water from the golf course. Both empty into Mud Lake, with the ditch for the Tx Plant providing a channel out into Mud Lake. There is a small launch ramp for this canal, which is the first one that you hit on the "frontage rd". Get off on the 1st Springville exit, turn rt, the rt again. That dirt rd will go about a 1/2mile on the west side of I15. There is a small parking area and you can launch a small boat, raft, kayak, etc there. You have about a mile of canal till you hit Mud Lake, then you are on you own as far as navagation ! Mud lake should be good this year with all our water. You can also go under I15 through the culvert, IF the water is low enough. There is usually a pretty good current in both culverts, attracting lots of WB. I avoid fishing there any more due to the vandalism of vehicles that are parked there. I may take a trip or two into Mud Lake this spring, coming into it from the main Lake. Have caught some great LMB there, up to 5lbs flippin worms ( use a black gator tail w/chartruse tail w/pegged 1/4 oz. wt, 25lb mono, flipping stik ).I thought that might be the area you were referring to. A lot of "regulars" refer to it as "Mill Race". And, yes, it does attract both whities and harvesters.
There is also the "new and improved" Hobble Creek inlet to the lake. June suckers have been using it well, along with all of the other "usual suspects".
