I did not make it over yet. [:/]
Got to chasing [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/Utah_Fishing_Forum_C55/Utah_Fishing_General_F58/gforum.cgi?post=615497;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;page=unread#unread"]crawdads [/url]and [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/Utah_Fishing_Forum_C55/Utah_Fishing_General_F58/gforum.cgi?post=615614;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;page=unread#unread"]slimers [/url]at Hyrum instead.[

What time of day was it? You'll find bigger bass will move into the shallows at dawn and dusk to feed on younger smaller fish. But often during the day will migrate to deeper waters. Not sure what the weed situation is like there, but at other holes I've heard if you can punch down through the weeds, you'll find bass lurking below at the base of the weeds, and will hit when things drop and hit bottom.
Plus you get seasonal shifts. Bass/sunfish in shallows during spring spawn. Then move deeper as the water warms. Suspending on ledges, dropoffs too. But come up to feed.
Trout also will react to water temp. They like it colder, so as the surface warms, they move deep. Once a lake turns over in fall, they start hitting the surface. That's what we're starting to see now (orange! Hot color!)
Realize there's a few things not marked on that Pineview map - like the campground. You'll have to credit TubeDude with marking up most of the maps you see. I just share them on when it seems appropriate. He's got some great ones of Utah Lake.
Here's a couple of Willard (*off topic, I know). Been learning there's a lot more structure to the bottom than one might think. Old roadways, underwater "islands", various dips and pockets. Planning to hit it this afternoon with my boy - try out the sideplaner boards. See if I can't coax a Walleye into the boat, or find some phat cats! (I'm not even going to mention Wipers or Boils....)
I think it was another Pineview thread - someone was kind enough to post great details about the depths at various areas of Pineview. (sorry don't recall the poster's handle - give proper credit!)
