The Division of Wildlife Resources has shared recommendations of fishing hotspots for Memorial Day weekend across the state and unique northeastern spots dominated the list. Recommendations included the secluded Long Park Reservoir in Daggett County which offers “fast fishing from shore or from a small watercraft, and anglers can expect high catch rates.” Starvation Reservoir in Duchesne County also made the list thanks to large rainbow trout being relatively abundant right now. Uintah County’s Pelican Lake was also recommended as a popular fishing destination that offers great bass fishing from a boat. “These local waterbodies have some incredible scenery, great public access and provide fun fishing opportunities,” shares DWR Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger. “Whether you go every week or you’ve never tried fishing, these waterbodies can offer something for every angler.”
