Hello!
#1
Hello to all anglers.

I'm a Japanese angler.
I'm going to visit Utah in the beginning of July 2010.
So I participated in this forum to find any information of Utah fishing.
I hope to provide Japanese one.
Good fishing!

Thank you Albinotrout for your prompt response.
I'm going to be in Utah from July 1st to 4th.
It would be one or two day to spend on fishing.

I'd like to know rivers or lakes to fish where are
easy to access from the Saltlake city for one day or half day fishing.
I love every fish and every kind of fishing.
Rainbow, brown, cutthroat, lake, kokanee,
bass, crappie, pike, blue gill, catfish and so on.
It would be the best to fish native species like cutthroat trout.

I'm sorry for my bad English.
Thanks again.

Well you are in luck. Lots of fishing around SLC that can be traveled to from 30 minutes two hours or more. Starting with the closest to salt lake would be:

bass, crappie, walleye, catfish: Utah Lake South of salt lake by about 45 minutes to one hours depending where you go there.

Same species go north from salt lake by about one hour you will get to Willard Bay reservoir they also have wipers in it. East of Ogden you get Pineview Reservoir with bass, crappie, yellow perch, and tiger muskie.

for trout head to the hills:

Provo River- runs Uinta mtns to Provo and utah lake
Weber River - runs uinta mtns to Willard Bay
Jordanelle Reservoir (also has smallmouth bass and perch)- fed by Provo river
Deer Creek Reservoir (also has bass and walleye and crappie and yellow perch)- fed by provo river
about a two hour drive from Salt lake would be Strawberry Reservoir full of Cutthroat trout. Has special regs and a slot limit but big fish. A little farther from Strawberry is Starvation Reservoir with walleye, bass, perch, and some trout. Uinta Mountains are full of lakes with rainbow trout, tiger trout, arctic grayling, cutthroat trout, and brook trout. Can travel up to two hours from salt lake for that depending how far you go into the mountains. Take the road back from Parleys canyon to East Canyon Reservoir (can be accessed from Morgan UT off of Interstate 84 too) this has bass, crappie, tiger trout, rainbow trout, and other fish too. Going further south you can run into Yuba reservoir. This reservoir has Northern Pike and yellow perch in it. East of Ogden again further up from Pineview is Causey Reservoir with kokanee trout in it. If you want to really get away from Salt lake head to the Green River on the eastern side of the state with lots of brown and rainbow trout. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is there and it has smallmout bass, lake trout, rainbow trout, LIng Cod (burbot), and kokanee salmon. Further north and east of Logan UT is the Bear Lake with lake trout and cutthroat trout and rainbow trout. The Logan River is in the northern part of the state and has cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout. The canyons just to the east of Salt lake have small streams in them full of rainbow and cutthroat trout. Schofield Reservoir is just southeast of Provo off of US highway 6. This has cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and tiger trout.

There are more places to go around here as well. Just need to get some maps and decide where and when and we can all help.

If you head over to the Utah board and look for Flygoddess she knows several outfitters that can help you locate fish as well. Hey some of the guys on the board that have boats may even take you out if you know what kind of fish you want.

I hope this helps and keep in touch. I hang out on the Utah board and the float tubing board.

Welcome to BFT Tsuyoshi, here is a link to the main utah board:
[url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=58"]http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=58[/url]
Looks like Albinotrout has already given you some great info but please ask your question on the utah board for a lot more feed back. And don't worry about the bad English, there are plenty of folks from the USA that have a hard time with it a well, lol. WH2

hiya Tsuyoshi and welcome to the forum.. looks like you are getting great info already and a link to the Utah forum... I am sure you will be well informed of what and where to go before you leave your home.. :-)

I noted you say your hometown is Misawa.. I was stationed there many years ago and have fond memories of the town, the people, and the beauty of your country. Kochanut was also stationed there and fished all over the area including Lake Towada....

my only regret is that I was not that much into fishing when I was there.. I am sure I missed a lot of good fishing ...

I used to enjoy spin fishing mainly.
But I have one fly rod #4.
It's fun to fish trout at summer evening by dry fly!
