Rainbow trout were stocked in the fall and should be abundant throughout the ice fishing season. To target rainbow trout, tip small ice flies or tube jigs with waxworms or nightcrawlers, and fish them 3–10 feet below the ice in 20–30 feet of water. For brown trout, walleye and yellow perch, tip tungsten ice flies and jigging raps with mealworms, and then actively jig them 1–2 feet off the bottom in 30–50 feet of water. Try using ice flies and jigging raps that are colored like a yellow perch. Anglers are encouraged to review the Utah State Parks ice safety guide.
