I'm not a pike fisherman by any means and I'm not at Utah Lake very much. That being said, many of my lunch breaks are spent just up from the lake on Provo River, hooking carp and hoping for walleye.
Last year, I caught 2 pike from the river, within a week of each other. Haven't hit another one since, but may have seen one.
I caught a few pike from Hobble Creek last year as well, right where it spills from the culvert under the freeway. There are quite a few in there.
A couple of weeks ago, I dropped in for another visit and popped two in two casts. Those were donated to the DWR in Sprinkleville. Last week, I had my jig stolen by a bigger one (probably 24" or more) and watched a smaller one zip by me. There are a lot more in that stretch of Hobble than people think.
The DWR is still giving out swag bags for any pike turned in, while supplies last.
All of my pike were caught on a Gulp minnow on a 1/16oz jig head, minus one that took a sand tube.
(I've seen a pretty good one of around 30" last year in a little stream along the south side of the East Bay golf course.)
