Latest fishing report

DWR report dated Sept. 18, 202653 days old, seasonal outlook

Fall outlook: DWR expects the low water to bring on a hot bite. Tiger muskie are the star of the year, with summer catch rates above past years and some success from shore on ordinary bass gear. Smallmouth bass remain abundant and are easy to hook anywhere on the lake, and yellow perch numbers are climbing, with anglers doing well in the backs of most bays. Kokanee are spawning from September into October, which has brown trout and splake working up the Provo Arm after the spawners. Cutthroat and rainbow fishing improves from mid-September until ice-on and can be among the fastest of the year. For cutthroat, DWR suggests trolling slowly, between 1.0 and 1.8 mph, with a white or green tube jig of 3 to 4 inches baited with a bit of worm, fished close to the surface roughly 100 feet back.

Keeping kokanee is prohibited statewide, starting Sept. 10 and running through Nov. 30.
