Utah Lake has a good population of Bluegill, you just have to get out of the harbor(s) ! A good place to launch is at AF Harbor, but don't launch off the main ramp. Go up the dike a bit till you see a break in the brush and a sloping gravel area. you can launch there and kick out to the weed line north of the dike. Another option is to park outside the Harbor, walk through the brush out to the mouth of the AF River ( yes even though it is dry, it is the AF River) and launch off the gravel bar out there and then kick north along the weed line. it will be fairly shallow so you may have to get out away from the weeds a bit and cast into them. That is a pretty consistent area for them. The airport dike used to be pretty good also, but the water is way to low now to get out there !!
