I Need your help with Walleye.

[Backyard Boy T.V.]

Rocky is right.  I always say that there are more walleye caught "on accident" than on purpose.  And I also catch a lot more while casting small jigs for white bass or crappies than when I specifically target them.
 

As has been mentioned, walleyes live in quite a few Utah Waters.  But the most and biggest are probably in Utah Lake.  Best places to try are around the rock dikes of the harbors...especially during April and May.  But a lot of "wading warriors" catch good numbers at several spots around Lincoln Beach.

Walleyes will hit a wide range of baits and lures...including spinners, crankbaits and plastics.  But the guys who consistently do best are the ones who fish plastics with light gear and finesse tactics.  Here is a PDF writeup I put together a couple of years ago that should provide some help.  After that it is a matter of good luck and good timing...to find the fish and get them to play with you.

Man Thanks! This is all the info I could want! I will be sure to use this!

Here is a strange story.  Around three years ago, everyone was catching walleye in Utah Lake.  Just drive the state park at dusk and there were rows of people lining up, catching walleye.  This was sometime in April.  I worried at time time that the walleye in Utah Lake were going to be like the buffalo ca. 1865.  Most people thought that was a silly worry.

Maybe it was, and maybe I'm just not smart enough to find the walleye, but I have not only not caught a walleye in Utah Lake since, but I haven't even seen a walleye caught since.  I don't know what has been different.  It seems to me like they are gone.  But maybe I don't understand the spawn well enough, or else have missed it, or something like that.  I also hear rumors from time to time that a similar event happens at the Provo's mouth in Deer Creek, but have never timed that right, either.

In general I find walleye much more elusive than bass and trout, but that may be that I didn't grow up fishing for them.

Timing is key from what I have heard. That and knowledge of the lake you are fishing.
