Utah Lake is loaded with them. I would estimate the average carp size on Utah Lake to be around 4-7 lbs. Because it has shallow shore lines with a fairly firm bottom, you can see the carp tailing and crusing around. I have to admit that I've had more of a rush casting to a crusing carp at the mouth of the Provo river than dry-fly fishing up in the canyon. The water clarity where the Provo dumps into Utah lake is suprizingly clear, especially in calm conditions. For me, its being able to watch the whole process, the cast, watching the carp approach the area of your fly and just waiting for the take. If you miss those ones, there will be another group crusing by in a matter of seconds.
Hope you get into them this year.
