June fishing has been hot for most of the anglers. Many were catching limits of nice rainbows and browns. There have been waiting lines at the fish cleaning station. One angler reported that he has been fishing Rockport for 30 years and has had the best year ever both with quantity and quality. The last two winters, we've had very poor ice and limited ice fishing opportunities, therefore we have a lot more hold-over trout. Trolling is best for trout using pop gear and worm or Rapalas. Garlic PowerBait has been working from shore. Bass fishing is hot from the docks.

Remember to certify that your vessel is clean and free of quagga mussels. You can find forms at the top of most boat ramps. Thoroughly clean, drain and dry your boat after every outing — especially if you have boated at Lake Powell or Deer Creek. Read more about the decontamination process.
