I had no idea that the state record for whitefish was only 4lbs. One of the largest fish I have caught on the Provo (Lower) was a 25-inch brute caught and released in November. The Weber holds similarly large whitefish. On the Provo, I have caught whitefish in town, at the mouth of the canyon (below the Glen Canyon park), throughout the canyon stretch, and in the Upper Provo above Jordanelle. They do seem to clump together at times, so if you catch one, you're likely to find a few more in the same spot.
They also seem to migrate a bit more than the browns. Often, I will catch the same brown under the same logjam year over year. Whitefish seem to be here today up or down river the next. I'm not sure if that is really the case or just my observation.
It sounds like you really got into them at Charleston. Way to go! They can be a lot of fun, especially when they have some size to them.
