fishing forecast December to March Cutthroat trout: whether you're fishing through the ice or open water, you can expect excellent fishing for cutthroat trout. Jigging with 1/2 - 3/4 oz. tube jigs, tipped with cisco or sucker meat, is the most popular way to catch cutthroat trout in the winter. cutthroat can be found in anywhere from 30 - 100 feet of water, but most anglers target 50 - 80 feet. If the lake is open water, you can try trolling minnow type lures or flatfish, with downriggers, close to the bottom. good locations for winter cutthroat fishing are off the rockpile in front of the ideal beach resort, second point and cisco beach. the four artificial rock piles just north of the Utah state park marina are also a good spot to try. Bonneville whitefish fishing is typically good from the end of November through December, and the again from the end of January through the end of Feburary. When fishing for white fish use a small 1/8 - 3/8 oz. vertical jigging spoon and tip it with a piece of worm or mealworm. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms or near weed beds off the bottom. Bonneville Cisco, dip netting for spawning Bonneville cisco in January is weather dependent. If the lake is frozen you can dipnet through the ice. is the lake is open water you can wear waders and try dip netting from shore at cisco beach or around the marina. However since they can see you the cisco are very warry during open water years. try to keep a low profile and stay close to shore. Jigging for Bonneville cisco is also popular if the lake is not frozen. Jigging action should begin in mid-January and run through the first part of February. Use a larger jigging spoon 3/8 - 1 oz. and jig it aggressively right on the rocky bottom in 40 - 60 feet of water, or off of weed beds in 20 - 30 feet of water.
