r/UtahFishing

Sorry for hitting this chat up again, but if you guys have any good spots in Davis county or spots near there worth making a trip lmk. I just fished in montana and i’m dying to catch anything decent

Stupid question, new to Utah and newer to fishing. Can you use spinning gear/conventional tackle on the Provo River, or is it basically all fly fishing? I only ever see people fly fishing out there, so I genuinely didn’t know lol.

If you can use spinning gear, what section of the Provo would you recommend for someone just trying to catch some trout and learn the river a bit?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to meet people around Salt Lake City who enjoy fishing or want to learn. I know a really solid spot for catching giant carp and suckers, and I’m happy to bring bait, setup, and help anyone who wants to land some big fish.

I enjoy teaching people what I know about finding fish, setting up rigs, and fighting larger freshwater fish. Doesn’t matter if you’re experienced or completely new.

A little about me:

I moved from Baghdad to Utah and love getting outside instead of sitting home all day. If you want to catch some freshwater giants, relax, and meet new people, hit me up.

I was up at the boulder mountains about 2 years ago for a couple days and was amazed of all huge fish but to my disappointment I couldn’t seem to land any of those huge tigers. I’m not asking for specific beta but instead asking for tips for Stillwater fishing. Like certain rigs or style of flies work. I’ve heard chrinomids are great but anyways feel free to chime in !

Heading down to southern Utah this upcoming weekend, I got a young son who has been wanting to catch a bass. (Gonna hit the white bass in Utah lake too, just wanted something a little more “sporty”). Which reservoir do you think gives us the best chance? Any other recommendations/suggestions/tips/locations are also appreciated. Thanks yall! Wishing ya luck on your next trip.

So for 20 years I've only been able to fish with others due to allergies, but recently figured out that I am no longer allergic to touching fish and want to get started fishing when I'm out off-roading! I'm looking for any recommendations for what I should keep in my tackle box. I currently have 1 rod setup for simple off-the-bottom fishing, which I've had good luck with for some trout in my local pond, but I want to be able to fish streams/rivers as well as possibly fish other species that are here in Utah. I do plan on having a 2nd rod so that I can either use 2 at once at a lake, or have 1 setup for streams/creeks and the other for lakes. I have in mind what rods I want to start out with since I need something collapsible to store in the Jeep, and right now I'm not interested in fly fishing for streams/rivers. I also need some recommendations on how I can get a cooler setup to store caught fish for up to 2-3 days before I get back home, as my mom loves eating fish. The goal is to start on the smaller/cheaper end but maybe venture into the midrange in terms of pricing.

Species Interested in
Trout(duh)
Bluegill
Catfish
Whitefish/BonnevilleCisco(I think they are the same/similar species?)
Kokanee Salmon
Perch
Bass large and smallmouth
Crappie
If it's in the fishing guidebook for keep limits, mention how they are caught so I can catch them.

Edit*
I'm mostly looking into recommendations for what I need in my tacklebox and an explanation of what fish they tend to catch and if they are for lake/reservoirs or if they are for rivers/creeks

I’m flying into Salt Lake City for a work trip and am going to take a couple extra days to fish the Provo River.

I’m bringing a spinning rod as well and wondering whether there’s decent shore fishing on Utah Lake. Any tips you’d be willing to share with a humble lad from Minnesota?

Hmu if your in Logan and wanna fish on the Logan river hmu, me and you go fishin in the dark
