Striped Bass
While not a typical destination for striped bass, anglers near Salt Lake City, Utah, can find limited opportunities in freshwater reservoirs. The focus should be on identifying reservoirs that have been stocked, as natural reproduction is unlikely in this environment. Check with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for the most up-to-date stocking reports. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the stripers will be actively feeding in cooler water. Look for areas near the dam, inlets, and submerged structure. Shad-imitating lures or live bait are your best bet. Given the arid climate, water levels can fluctuate significantly, so be prepared for changing conditions. Access to some reservoirs may be limited or require a fee. Be sure to check local regulations and obtain the necessary permits before fishing.
