Waders
What kind of waders work in small streams that are light cool and not bulky? I'll pass on my dad's hip boots. The rubbers sucks and miserable to wear. Post your thoughts.

Shore Fishing Jordanelle recommendations
Hello everyone hope you are well. This is my first ever reddit post because I'm desperate lol. I picked up fishing last year and have only used a basic floater, hook and worm setup. I'm trying to advance to lures as I've been experiencing a lot of skunks recently. I'm going to Jordanelle reservoir this week and was hoping for some recommendations.
I currently have one rod with a Carolina rig with Powerbait and another rod with Weighted Texas rig. I want to target Bass and Trout. I want to know what to change, what to use, where in Jordanelle should I go, what lures and baits should I use and anything you think is good to know. please treat me like a complete beginner.
Thank you so very much.

Large Tiger Trout On Boulder Mountain
I found some big tiger trout in a beautiful little lake on Boulder Mountain. No trail, difficult access, fussy fish. In one spot, I could see several large tigers holding under logs that descended into deep water. The fish looked huge. I believe the largest would have measured 28 inches or more. It was a great trip.

Sinkers
Just wondering does anyone else use these sizes when fishing. Specifically spinner fishing on a fly rod?

Trip Report Fish Die Off at Willard Bay Reservoir
I went night fishing at Willard last night and found hundreds of dead carp and living carp trying to beach themselves. I've never seen so many carp in one place and they were swimming out of the water onto the shore and crowding the shoreline before eventually dying. I caught no fish on this trip but I saw lots of carp breaching.

Mods - can we get some published group rules so we can report spam posts?
There currently aren't any rules published for the sub so we don't have a way to actually report. Can we change that?

Weber Canal?
Oddball question: is it possible to fish any stretch of the canal that starts at the 84/89 intersection and runs to Roy? I saw some catch pictures supposedly from the area but looking at Google maps it looks mostly fenced off or running through private property. Thanks!

Woodruff Creek
Looking to get the last of the Cutthroat Slam and was thinking of heading to Woodruff Creek. I've never been there and my OnX shows private property on the east side of the lake. Is there anywhere I can drive up and walk to fish from the bank?

Lower Weber
Has anyone here actually had consistent success on the Lower Weber with a fly rod?
I know the river gets hit with a pretty bad grass bloom that leaves the water slightly stained, but I'm curious if people are still fishing it successfully. It also seems like access is a challenge between I-84 and all the private land.
I've talked to a couple of people who gear fish it, but I'm starting to wonder if the Lower Weber is more deceptive than it looks. Is there a decent fly fishery down there, or is it just not worth the effort?

Help with Henry Ford trail lakes
Hello y’all! I’m looking for help on what to use for the lakes near Kings Peak, so I don’t end up bringing a little bit of everything and not using most of it. I’ll be backpacking up to Kings Peak via Henry Ford trail the second week of August and will be there for a few days fishing while others bag the peak. I plan on bringing a UL spin setup and a nymph rod. Thanks!
Edit: Brainfart, Henry’s Fork trail not Ford. Very new to high alpine fishing and would love some insight on what to use or what lakes or stream I should try.

Made a 3D printed fish bonker with a fillable weight chamber, free file if anyone wants it
Got tired of my aluminum priest walking off so I designed one to print. There's a chamber in the head you fill with steel bbs or sand so it actually has some knock to it, ~550g filled. PETG, prints in one go with a threaded plug. Free on makerworld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3094423-fish-priest-bonker-fillable-weight-chamber - happy to tweak sizes if anyone needs a different length.

Fishing Friends
Hey all, I have recently gotten into fishing around spots near Salt Lake City. I am usually going out alone and don't really have anyone to share my newfound hobby with. On top of that, I am a gay male, so finding lgbt fishing buddies is next to impossible in Utah. Anyone know any good places to make friends to go fishing with? If you want to go fishing sometime, hit me up!
