[cool][#0000ff]Looks like you already have the directions. Here is a PDF file with a hand-drawn map to help.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Walleyes are like gold...where you find them. If they are hunting for food, you fish where the forage species are. If they are staging to spawn, then you look for them in the rivers or along stretches of wave washed rocks. Not much of the latter in Utah Lake. Some of the rock dikes see nighttime walleye spawning. Also along some rocky shelves at Lincoln Beach. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]At this time of year there can be stray walleyes anywhere, restless and moving to find other walleyes before the spawn. They are also feeding prior to spawning. Some folks do well by still fishing with minnows or cut white bass meat on a corky rig. I like to drag a whole minnow around behind my float tube on one rod while casting plastics with another. (2 pole permit)[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No answer as to why you do or don't catch walleyes at one place or another. When they are there, you have a better shot at them. But, just finding them is no guarantee. Maybe with whites and cats, but not with the wascally wallies.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Chances are that almost anywhere you fish there will be walleyes within casting range. But, if they are inactive or preoccupied with spawning, they are mighty tough to get to open their mouths.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Sorry about the "non answer answer".[/#0000ff]
