Well yesterday caught a walleye.  First one ever at Starvation.  Today I caught a round tail chub on the Colorado river as well as a smallmouth bass.  About a week ago I caught a Yellowstone cutthroat trout.  Three new species and still going!!!  Gotta love this state!!!!!

Yep Albinotrout. I Think its pretty good fishing here too. Between all the fish species and the varied habitats its hard to get bored. Whats next on yer list?

Well had plans to head that way in middle of August but found out school starts one week early for kids this year so now we need to see if it is still feasable.  We were planning a tour of the national and state parks in the southern part of the state with a couple of nights in the national forests.  Wanted to stay at quail creek and navajo lake but now who knows what will happen.    Plans still in air right now but hope to make it down there soon.

Just got back from a little more bank tangling on the Colorado River. Caught a nice catfish with the same spoon that I was using the other day! Gotta love it!!

Yeah getting out. Nest trip starts tuesday.

Hey albinotrout i am going to go to starvation next week end and really want to catch a walleye can you give me any info like where you were what you used and were you on shore or on a boat any info will be good thanks

hey welcome to the forum SLCFISHER. I am assuming the SLC is Salt lake city, what part of the valley are you from? I am out in Riverton.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while.  Been busy with work and the holidays.  Haven't been fishing since August.  Had to get some work done on the house.  Well when I was there last was in august.  I was out on my toon fishing off the bottom with jigs.  You can tip the jigs with perch meat or a worm and they will bite too.  Right now expet cold temps and no fish.  There will probably be some slimers swimming around but the perch and walleye have gone really deep.  Next time I will be going to Starvation will probably be in the spring when the water starts warming and the fish return to the bays.  Areas I like to go is Indian Bay, bunny gulch (rabbit gulch), I also want to try out the north end in the spring while the water is high.  Hope you do well, let us know how you do.

Thanks for all the info albinotrout kinda not sure about going though cause been reading about walleye and its like you said they are probably really deep but if i do go i will let you know how it was. And you said you caught a round tail chub do you have any pics to show would really like to see some and of that walleye to I think this forum needs more pics it will make it more exciting to get on.

Good info albinotrout. never been to starvation only driven past. I may have to put it on my list of places to try this year.

SLCFISHER. I am practically next door to you. hope you get a chance to go out soon. I havn't been out in a while always seems that stuff comes up. last year we attempted a get together. hopefully this year we can all get out for an outing. do you do any stream fishing?

Brian

I do have a picture of the round tail chub.  Don't have one of the walleye though.  I don't see how to post a pic on this site as of yet. Here is a link of where I do have it posted.  http://www.bigfishtackle.com/photos...user=43231

Here is the most recent report for starbvation from another site that I hang around. It is from January 4. Reading it it looks pretty good for Starvation right now.

"To those of you waiting for this report with baited breath, I have a suggestion for you. Quit eating your bait!

Seriously, here's the report from our trip over there today. We drove into the Rabbit Gulch access and found the road plowed, restrooms open and fishable ice. Remember that the Rabbit Gulch access is part of the State Park and there is a fee station. Daily use fee is $7.00. A word of caution: The ice is about as thin as I will fish and walk on. There is about 4 inches of new, solid ice that starts about 50 yards offshore. There is a distinct line marking the older somewhat thicker ice near shore. The most recently formed ice is clear and strong. We hiked about a mile and a half today and the thickness was consistent all around Rabbit Gulch. There was a set of tracks from yesterday or the day before and they headed across the bay to the rocky island on the far side. We followed the tracks and started fishing in water about 40 feet deep. Almost immediately one of my friends caught a nice rainbow. We were fishing typical perch rigs with small pieces of perch belly and right on the bottom. We didn't get any other hits, so we started moving around and trying different depths. We fished in water from 32 feet to nearly 60 feet and couldn't locate the perch.
At noon we decided since deeper wasn't the answer, maybe shallower was. We hiked toward the back end of the Gulch and found 22 foot water. This was around 12:30 and we got into the perch. The action was fairly steady but the vast majority of the fish were in the 4 to 8 inch range. We did get five jumbos that were 11 to 12 inches. We also caught three more RBT about 17 inches each and FAT! They have been invited to a smokefest in my yard. We just didn't find a group of the larger perch. I would estimate the three of us caught about 50 perch and we took home around 12.
I would not recommend the use of 4 wheelers or snowmobiles until the ice can get a few inches thicker. Now that the lake is capped, the ice should build fairly fast with the current temperatures. I think we'll give it another try and start at the upper end of the Gulch and hunt around for the bigger perch and maybe some walleye.
The photo is of the three larger RBT we brought home for the Masterbuilt smoker. "

Yeah I have fished the green, weber and provo rivers i have a picture of my first brown on a fly rod posted in the fly fishing forum you should check it out. but I will fish any where there is fish thats for sure

Very good information thanks albinotrout didn't know it had that much ice on it reading that makes me want to get out there a.s.a.p. haha

yeah I just checked it out. Very nice brown and a very good start with the fly rod.
