Striper slurps and boils are now available lakewide. Here is a rundown on what to expect.
Northern lake:
Launching access is decent at Hite. There are a couple of options for launching including the primitive ramp and below the cement ramp. The water surface from Hite down to Good Hope is relatively clear of debris. There is some so be careful but launching at Hite makes for safer travel than coming uplake from Bullfrog where more floating debris exists in isolated spots in the channel.
The best, most consistent striper surface activity is found from Castle Butte to Trachyte/White Canyon. Slurps start at first light and continue most of the day and into the evening. From Hite to the Horn there are lots of really quick slurps that come up and go down often. The best spot is between Scorup and Castle Butte. Here the slurps and boils are larger and last longer. There are enough slurps in sight that it is possible to just stay in a central location and cast lures to many different slurps. When the fish go down, continue to cast to the spot last seen and continue to catch random fish. Surface lures are best as are small plastic grubs on jig heads.
Bullfrog/Halls:
Boils/slurps were found most consistently this week near the mouth of Moki Canyon but boils were seen from Forgotten to Lake Canyon.
