Taking the trailer up to Hyrum this weekend for some time away. I have been there plenty for trout and have no problem catching them. Have never tried for bass. Will have boat and float tube available. Any part of lake more likely than another? Figure it may be too cold still, but trout cna be a bit boring after a while. Want some variety at some point in the three days. Also, any idea where perch hang out this time of year would be great. Thanks all. Reports will follow.

I've not done great with Bass there, but you can try the CARS and often get into some bass. They'll be moving into shallows for beddy-time as things warm.
The cars are east from the boat launch, not quite halfway to the swim area. They extend out into the lake, makes some good structure. BUT also lots of good snags, so don't drop anything too expensive.
My kid was ON FIRE one time with a simple little brass-Mepps spinner. I couldn't even get a line in, as he kept reeling in fish (I had to take off his hook!). Most were small ones, but there are lunkers in there.
You can try under the dock too. They like to hang out there.
let us know how you do!

I will have to do a little searching around for them. How deep are they lcoated? How far off shore? Sounds like a great place to start.

Hate to say this but the water was so murky two weeks ago that I quit early and went home with another skunk on my belt... The runoff has increased since so it may be tough to get the fish to see your lures...

Just follow the north coast heading east from the launch. Use your ears - you'll hear them clanking as the waves push on 'em. They were dumped there for erosion control way back when.
They go up the hill into the trees/bushes, and I'm told (by the ranger) that they extend out quite a ways underwater.
Here's one that was almost a foot-long-er.
I hooked it up by the docks last fall on a top-water popper.
Good luck, have fun, let us know how you do.
