WEBER RIVER: Water is high between Echo and Stoddard. Try fishing with a small Rapala or spin-gear in the deeper holes. Fly fishing with nymphs or streamers has produced some fine fish all along the river.

Central Region

DEER CREEK: Bottom bouncers with a worm harness produced several 5- to 8-pound walleye fishing toward the dam. Fair success for smaller walleye on the Charleston end of the reservoir. Most trout anglers report at least fair success from both boat and shoreline, and bass success remains "fair" to "good."

JORDANELLE: Fair success from both shoreline and boat. Good bass success. Try casting jigs or minnow-imitating lures toward points or near submerged structures.

STRAWBERRY: Trout fishing fair to good from tubes, boats and shoreline. Many different lures, flies and baits are working. Best tend to be white tube jigs, dark wooly patterns and PowerBait or a worm/marshmallow combo or dead minnow for the bait anglers. Stream restoration work is occurring now, and it will improve spawning habitat for both kokanee salmon and cutthroat trout.

UTAH LAKE: Fair success for white bass, fair success for largemouth bass — look for edges of vegetation along inlets or along the vegetative shorelines in the lake — and good success for channel cats. Walleye fishing is slow.

YUBA: Good success for perch. Walleye success is slow to fair. Anglers are also catching the occasional northern pike.

PROVO RIVER: Fly anglers reporting good success. Hare's ear, sow bugs and other small surface flies and bottom-bouncing nymphs are producing fair to good success in pools and feeding zones.
