Following is the latest fishing report from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources:

Northern Region

BEAR LAKE: Pressure is light. Some cutthroat trout have been caught in water depths ranging from the shoreline shallows to approximately 17 feet.

CAUSEY: Fair success for trout from shore using baits.

EAST CANYON: Fishing fair for smaller rainbows and it should improve over the next couple of months. The DWR recently stocked more than 40,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout in the reservoir — double the normal amount.

LOST CREEK: Population survey found abundant trout populations. While there were many smaller fish, there were five over 20 inches.

OGDEN RIVER: Recently stocked with 7,000 rainbow trout.

PINEVIEW: Spotty fishing. Some crappie over 11 inches.

DEER CREEK: Mixed reports of success, but most anglers report at least fair success for rainbow trout and bass. An occasional walleye reported as well. Most shoreline anglers report slow to fair success, while boat and tube anglers report fair to good success.

JORDANELLE: Success is fair using various trolling and jigging techniques from boats and traditional baits from shoreline.

STRAWBERRY: Open water and mixed reports of success. Some anglers report being skunked and others report catching and releasing 20 to 30 fish. Try pointer minnows cast toward weed beds in about 15 feet of water near shoreline, white tube jigs are working as well at various depths. Dead minnows are a good bait choice.

UTAH LAKE: Reports of good success for white bass and channel cats. Slow for walleye.

YUBA: Spotty success for both perch and walleye. Not too many rainbow trout in the reservoir.

BURRASTON POND: Stocked. Success is fair to good. Most anglers are using PowerBait.

SALEM POND: Stocked with trout and catfish. Fair success reported for trout. Best catfish time is early morning or evening.

AMERICAN FORK RIVER: Fair success using worms or small flies.
