Hey everyone,
I going to be up in Utah this weekend and I was planning on hitting Sand Hollow on my way home. Any suggestions on where to fish and what the bass are biting on right now? All tips and help are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the utah board? Not sure what the hot item now but I have always had luck drop shotting with a 3 ft drop near the SW end in about 25-30 ft. There is a bunch of grass beds that the bass hang around in and I just bounce a variety of soft bait just above it. Also, the shallows are usually a good bet. Just look for cover and they will be there. Shore fishing....I have no idea but assume most tactics would work.

Hey guys, just want to five an update on my first trip to sand hollow. I hit the lake around 7am. Gave the shallows a try at first with a popper. I got a couple of good strikes but I couldn't get a taker. So I decided to move down the dam to deeper water. I found a huge clump of grass and saw some huge bass hanging out there. So I started throwing a spinner to get a feel for where the fish where holding to. I got some good solid strikes but I wasn't able to hookup the fish. So I switched to a Texas rig swim bait and bam fish on. It was a good 3 lbs lmb. Now I was getting excited but after that first fish I could not get after taker. So I switched to a wacky rig senko. Made a long cast to deep water. Bam, another good 3 lbs lmb. I re-rigged another wacky worm, casted, and hooked up with a dink. Another cast and another dink. After that fishing cooled down and the weather got hot. So I called it a day after 3 hours of fishing. Also caught a bunch of blue gill after the bass stopped biting. Overall, good day of fishing and great first time fishing sand hollow. Definitely will have to give it another try.
