The ice is starting to come off Fish Lake. For safety, boats are not allowed on the lake until all the ice is completely gone. Spring fishing can be good to excellent for most fish species as they start feeding actively. Once boats are allowed, you can troll for rainbow trout, lake trout and kokanee salmon, or jig for perch and splake. Shore fishing is mostly limited to open water around Twin Creek, though you can also try fishing other shallow shorelines at night for splake. Consult the Fish Lake entry on the Fish Utah map for more fishing tips. Contact Fish Lake Resorts (Fish Lake Lodge/Lakeside Marina) before you go to check on current conditions and get up-to-date fishing reports. There is no limit for yellow perch at Fish Lake and you are encouraged to harvest as many perch as you catch. You are also allowed to waste perch at Fish Lake, so if you don't want to take them all home, just kill the fish and drop them back in the lake.
