On the south dike they have been boiling from wednesday to saturday night. They have started every day from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. I have been throwing a 3 inch white curly tail with a heavy jig head and have had amazing success

From the Fishing Guidebook:
Quote:
Prohibited fish
Utah Admin. Rule R657-13-13
Possession of the following nongame fish is prohibited. If you catch any of these fish, you must release them immediately:
• Gizzard shad


Willard Bay Reservoir, Box Elder County
• Limit 10 crappie.
• Limit 6 walleye, only 1 walleye may be over 24 inches.
• Limit 3 wiper.
• Possession of gizzard shad, dead or alive,
is unlawful.

Shad may work well as bait, but the Gizzard variety ain't legal. I guess you'll just have to use something that looks like them.Crazy
