If you are looking for fast fishing, big fish, help with your fly-fishing skills, or a place to take the kids or grandkids, then it's time to look at Utah's private waters. Larry Knight releases another fine rainbow at the LC Ranch. The management style and philosophy of these two kinds of fisheries are completely different, although both have their place.
Fishing is almost always fast and furious and the fish are easy to catch.
Generally there is a fee based on the number of pounds of fish caught. These ponds are generally located near the major population centers and are popular places to take younger anglers. They are often crowded on weekends. Trophy ponds are managed so that the fish remain in the water and have an opportunity to grow big and fat. A limited number of anglers are allowed to fish the ponds each day.
