So right now, WB in the midwest and South are moving into rivers and creeks to spawn. What this guy is doing is hitting them where they are staging at the mouth of a creek, river, etc. When the water temps hits about 40-45 they will move into the river and spawn. Same thing happens at UT Lake. They will stage at the mouth of the Provo, Spanish Fork, Battle Ceek, and inlet stream with running water. If they are able to run up the river( Provo & Spanish Fork) they will, otherwise they will hit the nearest gravel bed and spawn. It will be interesting to see how the new Provo River Delta will affect the WB spawn. They utilize the Hobble Creek project, you just can';t access it from the lake very well. The big ditch that drains the Provo water tx plant is always a big spawning area ! Any place there is water entering the lake will attract the WB & walleye for spawning. DWR collects male WB in the ditches around Provo Airport to use in the Wiper program. They can set a trap in the mouth of the ditch and capture all the WB they want, separate the males from the females, then hold them till the Stripers at Powell go into their spawn and they collect the eggs they need. The males are then injected with hormones to make them ripe, the milt is collected, and voila, you have Wipers !! quite the process !! This year there will be alot of small streams entering Utah Lake, so the WB (and walleye) will tend to scatter out more. Walleye also will spawn on clean gravel around the lake, where WB tend to spawn in the running water. Again, it will be interesting to see how the Provo River Delta project will affect the WB spawn as the flow in the river below the project is going to be cut.

By the way MWScott72, sand bass fishing in OK is ok, but it is much better on the rivers in MO!! 2-3lb average during the spawning run !!
