You'll be cruising on a fully decked-out 22' pontoon, armed with light tackle and expert guidance to help you reel in the big ones. With average catches around 2.5 pounds and the chance to hook monsters over 5 pounds, you're in for some serious action. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip's got everything you need for a stellar day on the water.
From the moment you step aboard, you'll feel the excitement in the air. Our seasoned crew will get you set up with top-of-the-line rods, reels, and all the gear you need. We'll cruise to the hotspots where the Rainbows are biting, using proven techniques like trolling and jigging to maximize your chances. The pontoon's spacious deck gives everyone plenty of room to cast and reel without getting tangled up. And don't worry if you're new to this - our guides are patient teachers who love nothing more than helping folks land their personal best.
We'll be using light tackle methods that are perfect for enticing Rainbow Trout to bite. Trolling is a favorite technique here - we'll set up lines behind the boat as we cruise, letting those lures dance in the water column where the fish are feeding. When we find a particularly hot spot, we might switch to jigging, which involves dropping lures straight down and giving them some action to mimic injured baitfish. These methods are easy to learn but can take a lifetime to master, and our guides will be right there to help you fine-tune your technique for maximum success.
Rainbow Trout are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These fish are known for their acrobatic fights and stunning colors. In Utah's waters, they grow fat and sassy, often reaching weights of 2.5 pounds or more. The really exciting part? There's always a chance of hooking into a monster over 5 pounds. These bigger fish are savvy and put up one heck of a fight - landing one of these beauties will give you bragging rights for years to come.
While we're primarily targeting Rainbows, don't be surprised if you also tangle with some hard-fighting Largemouth Bass. These green machines love to ambush their prey and can put a serious bend in your rod. And for those who appreciate finesse fishing, we might encounter some Crappie along the way. These tasty panfish are a blast to catch on light tackle and make for excellent eating if you're planning a fish fry later.
There's something special about fishing Utah's waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the way the mountains reflect off the glassy surface as the sun rises. Or perhaps it's the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line, knowing a feisty Rainbow is on the other end. Our customers often tell us it's the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement - a chance to unwind in nature while still getting their adrenaline pumping. Plus, with our knowledge of the local waters and fish behavior, you're set up for success from the start.
This season has been particularly hot for Rainbow Trout fishing. We've been seeing consistent catches in the 2-3 pound range, with several lucky anglers landing absolute giants over 6 pounds. The key has been finding the right depth and using lures that mimic the local baitfish. Our pontoon's fish finder helps us locate the schools, and from there, it's all about presentation. We've had great success with small spoons and minnow-imitating crankbaits, especially in silver and blue patterns.

Crappie are scrappy panfish that punch above their weight. Most run 7-12 inches and under a pound, but they make up for size with numbers and taste. You'll find them schooled up around brush piles, fallen trees, and dock pilings in lakes and slow rivers. Spring is prime time as they move shallow to spawn. Crappie are most active at dawn and dusk, so time your trips accordingly. Anglers love targeting them for their willingness to bite and excellent table fare. Light tackle makes even small ones fun to catch. For a sure-fire method, try suspending a small minnow or jig under a bobber near submerged cover. Vary your depth until you find the right zone. Once you locate a school, you can often catch a bunch quickly. It's a great species for introducing kids to fishing.
Largemouth bass are the big dogs of freshwater fishing. These guys average 1-4 pounds but can top 10+ in the right spots. You'll find them lurking around structure in lakes and slower rivers - downed trees, weed edges, docks. They're ambush predators, so work lures near cover. Spring and fall are prime seasons when bass move shallow to feed. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Nothing beats seeing a big bucket mouth rocket out of the water with your lure. For a sure-fire tactic, try slow-rolling a spinnerbait along drop-offs. Let it flutter on the pause - that often triggers bone-jarring strikes. Bass fishing's addictive, plain and simple. Once you feel that thump, you'll be hooked.
Rainbow trout are the crown jewels of Utah's rivers and streams. These colorful beauties typically run 12-20 inches and 1-3 pounds in our waters. You'll find them in cold, clear flows with plenty of rocks and riffles. Spring and fall are prime seasons as water temps cool. Rainbows are known for their acrobatic fights and willingness to take flies, making them a fly angler's dream. But spin fishers do well too. Locals prize them for both sport and eating. For a productive method, try drifting a nymph under an indicator through deeper runs. Let it bounce along the bottom naturally. When fishing our bigger waters, don't overlook streamers - big rainbows love to chase them down. There's nothing like watching a fat bow rocket out of the water with your fly. It's an experience that keeps anglers coming back for more.
