[cool][#0000ff]I fling flies for white bass, walleyes and cats on Utah Lake. [/#0000ff][#0000ff]If you can find fish they will hit flies. I fish them mostly on a five or six weight system, with a sink tip line. I also fish flies on spinning gear, rigged drop shot style. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The depths are not usually more than a few feet, but you have to have it near the bottom for best results. But, in rocky areas like Lincoln Beach, you can snag a lot. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Much of the best fly fishing is off the creek inlets, like Battle Creek (near Lindon), the mouth of Benjamin Slough (Lincoln Beach) and the mouth of the American Fork River (AF Boat Harbor).[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am attaching pics of some of the patterns I use for warm water species. Some are "hot" colors, for cold and/or murky water conditions. Some are contrasting combo colors, for increased visibility. However, it is hard to beat plain white, black or purple at times.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Note the "Over and Under" patterns. They work on troutskis and other species too. In fact, for the first few weeks after ice out, it is not uncommon to hook an occasional brown or rainbow that came down the Provo or other tributary during the winter.[/#0000ff]
