Today I headed out to a place called Willard Bay. This particular body of water is part of the Great Salt Lake but is fresh water because of man made structures around it. This makes Willard Bay a prime recreation area and all around it is a state park. this means fees people. For the spot I went to it was just 3 dollars for the day, other areas are 10 dollars a day. My intent today was to catch some catfish. I was a bit ill prepared but I went out with a spinning rig and a pack of hot dogs. The last time I was here I used chicken liver. The chicken liver yielded much better results. I arrived at the lake at about 5 pm and left at 8:30pm. If I hadn't had a prior appointment I would have stayed later the fish where just starting to role and not small fish mind you. I left the area with no fish and no bites, I was disappointed. my fishing parter says he had gotten a few bites but the area was dead for the hot dog fishing. The good news is just getting outside makes it worth while to me.
To get to Willard Bay get on I-15 and take exit 357 once at the light head West. On the West side of the interstate you will see a dirt road heading off to the North West and a paved road to the East. Take the road going North West there is a fee collector on the left side of the road for you to fill out your information and pay the three dollars. I would suggest paying the fee during my time there, there had been 4 sheriffs in the area. If you don't pay it's at your own risk.
This place is great just for a quick escape for me as it is one of the closer places to where I live. I hope you have better luck than I did, I will try again in a couple days and will post the new information if any should arise.
