About Great Salt Lake

Set in Utah, United States, Great Salt Lake is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Great Salt Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Hybrid striped bass

    Look for structure or drop-offs where hybrids ambush prey; Vary your retrieve until you find what they want.

  • For Channel catfish

    Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

  • For Common carp

    Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
