From Deseret News archives:
A rundown of spring fishing conditions as ice deteriorates
BEAR LAKE: The ice is deteriorating rapidly. There is open water at the marina.
CAUSEY: Mostly iced over, about 1/4 mile of open water near the Boy Scout camps.
ECHO: Completely ice free. Fishing is slow.
MANTUA: Boats have been on the water, but fishing was reported to be slow.
PINEVIEW: Some ice and some open water.
ROCKPORT: Almost completely ice free.
WEBER RIVER: The river is currently at higher flows. The water is murky and dirty from runoff.
CENTRAL REGION
DEER CREEK: Open Water. Some anglers report walleye success with bottom bouncers and Rapalas and similar lures fished slowly. Best lures were J-7 Rapalas in perch and rainbow trout. Small Rapala tail dancers in perch pattern also good.
STRAWBERRY: Still about 30 inches of ice and ice fishing success was reported as good again this week. Check ice for safety over the next week or so as ice off typically occurs in the next week or so. Tube jigs tipped with bait or various other techniques have all been effective. Early morning was best bite.
YUBA: Open water. Walleye numbers are up but fishing success for perch and walleye is slow to fair. Not too many rainbow trout in the BURRASTON POND: Fishing is fair. Most anglers are using PowerBait.
TIBBLE FORK: Fair success for trout. Most anglers using traditional baits.
AMERICAN FORK RIVER: Fair fishing success reported by using worms or small flies.
PROVO RIVER: Water level not too high and clarity good below both Jordanelle and Deer Creek dams. Hares ear, sow bugs and other small surface flies and bottom bouncing nymphs are producing fair to good success.
NORTHEASTERN REGION
BROUGH: Pond is ice-free and is almost full. Water is slightly murky. Fishing slow but the fish are nice sized.
