Rainbow Trout Fishing at Wellsville Dam, Utah | Community Fishery Adventure

Rainbow Trout Fishing at Wellsville Dam, Utah

Wellsville Dam is one of Utah’s best community fisheries — a beautiful, easy-to-access spot that’s stocked heavily with Rainbow Trout throughout the season. It’s a great place for families and anglers of all skill levels to enjoy a relaxing day of fishing.

Occasionally, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources adds Broodstock Rainbow Trout over 18 inches long, offering a chance at some truly trophy-sized fish! I usually practice catch and release on the bigger trout so local kids and new anglers have a shot at catching their own “big one.”

As a community fishery, the daily limit is two fish per person, and the state strongly encourages releasing any Largemouth Bass to help maintain the population.

    Chasing Bonneville Whitefish at Bear Lake (December Fishing Report) December fishing in Utah often means cold hands, quiet shorelines, and surprisingly active fish—especially at Bear Lake . On this trip, I headed north to target one of the lake’s most unique species: the Bonneville Whitefish . Unlike many fish that move deep as winter approaches, Bonneville Whitefish begin moving shallow in late fall and early winter to spawn. This makes December one of the best times of year to encounter them from shore or in shallow water. A Unique Fishery at Bear Lake Bear Lake is known for its endemic species, and the Bonneville Whitefish is one of the most underrated. These fish are strong, fast, and often mistaken for something else until they’re right at your feet. When conditions line up, Whitefish can be caught on spinners, spoons, and other small moving baits. On this outing, I hooked into a Whitefish using a spinner . The fish was unfortunately foul-hooked in the fin, and as...
