Northern Pike
While Dutch John, Utah, is primarily known for its trout fishing on the Green River, Flaming Gorge Reservoir offers a surprising opportunity to target Northern Pike. These aggressive predators are present in the reservoir, though not in huge numbers, providing a unique angling experience. The best time to target pike is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Pike often lurk in weedy bays and along submerged timber, ambushing prey. Large spoons, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use wire leaders, as pike have sharp teeth. Several boat ramps around the reservoir provide access to prime pike habitat. A practical tip: focus on the backs of bays where rivers and streams enter the reservoir, as these areas often hold baitfish that attract pike. While not a dedicated pike fishery, Flaming Gorge offers a chance to catch these exciting fish while enjoying the stunning scenery. Be sure to check the current Utah fishing regulations regarding size and bag limits for pike.
