I do not fish for walleye. However, if it was me I would try Oneida
resevoir in Idaho. I don't think it gets fished very hard and may be
a place to consider. Good luck!

Oneida isn't fished hard at all. Walleye are the only fish that is stocked. Between '97 and '01 there were 2.5 million fry (0 to 3 inches) stocked and another 500,000 in '05. I live about 15/20 miles from there and haven't heard any big numbers or big fish being caught there. Of course there is the possibility that since people don't fish it, catching Walleye in that particular body of water hasn't been explored in detail. Another problem might be the place is overrun with carp.

There are also Perch and Small Mouth Bass in there and the occasional Cutthroat. Since I also don't fish it much there is probably some one else either here on the Utah board or on the Idaho board that could tell you more.

[cool][#0000ff]You asked for info on "northern Utah", but did not say how far south you were willing to travel. If you live in Ogden or north, then Willard is probably the closest walleye pond. However, there are sometimes some decent walleyes taken from different stretches of the Bear River. There are lots of fish in there, but not many people target them or know how to catch them. Many of the walleyes taken from the Bear are caught by catfish anglers soaking crawlers or minnows.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The area below Cutler Dam has produced in the past, but wherever you can find a hole below faster current you can find walleyes "chillin'". Often they bite better at night or in low light of early morning or late evening.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There are places on the Bear in Cache Valley that kick out some walleyes too. However the water is usually shallow and muddy. You have to find deeper water with some current to do best.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]After that, you will need to either head to Idaho or south to some of the other Utah walleye ponds...Utah Lake, Deer Creek or over to Starvation.[/#0000ff]
