Mantua is weird this year.

[Fin-S-Fish]

Mantua is doing just fine. It's full of bluegill and lmb. It does get more pressure from catch and release folks and the gills are the smartest I have seen anywhere in the state of utah. Gills are usually very dumb and eat anything that u drop in the water. Not the case at Mantua. I've seen them size up and ignore everything even when u put it into their beds. These gills are as smart as lmb. The average person is highly unlikely to catch many gills at mantua on the ice. Ice is the worst season in my opinion to catch mantua gills. I've seen colonies of up to 500 9 inch gills all bedded up en masse. There's no shortage of fish in mantua. Just because people don't catch fish doesn't mean there's no fish in a lake.
