Smallmouth Bass
While not as abundant as largemouth, Smallmouth Bass can be found in Utah Lake near Pleasant Grove. Targeting them requires a slightly different approach. Focus on areas with rocky structure, riprap, and deeper water near the lake's edges. The Provo River channel where it enters Utah Lake is also a good place to start. Smallmouth fishing is typically best in the spring before the water warms up too much, and again in the fall. A key tip for Utah Lake smallmouth: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, use lures that create vibration and noise, such as crankbaits or spinnerbaits. If the water is clear, try using more subtle presentations like drop-shot rigs or tubes. Access is similar to largemouth, via the various marinas and boat ramps. Utah Lake smallmouth tend to be smaller than those found in some other western fisheries, but a dedicated angler can still find some quality fish.
