I started my fishing just a couple months ago as a hobby and now also for food. I think I've picked up fishing pretty well so far but I've mostly researched and taught myself--which only takes me so far in the world of such a personal sport!I don't know how close you are to Sand Hollow, but we have been getting some really nice bluegills from there just off the shore in and among the flooded trees. Great fight and good eating. Problem is you have to pay to get in because it's a state park.
I'm getting by as a largely-broke young angler with a decent rod and tackle, and I mostly night-fish to avoid the growing summer heat and the bulk of main fishing crowds. Not a lot of fishing spots in easy reach in Utah's southern deserts, and a lot of people have taken up fishing with the social distancing and job issues from the pandemic.
Really looking forward to learning and catching!
