One of Utah's big two-story reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Strawberry, Bear Lake, Fish Lake, Jordanelle, Scofield, Starvation) — rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout up top, lake trout ('mackinaw') and kokanee salmon in the depths, and smallmouth bass and yellow perch on several; trophy lake trout and Bear Lake's endemic Bonneville cisco run.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Utah; a few waters have seasonal or hourly restrictions (spawning closures, some community ponds and state-park waters) — check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook for the specific water.
Boats: The big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Lake Powell, Strawberry, Bear Lake, Jordanelle, Willard Bay, Deer Creek, Starvation) take trailered boats via a state-park or Forest Service ramp; mountain lakes are car-top or hike-in and rivers are drift-boat or wade. Utah has a serious quagga-mussel problem — every boat must be inspected and, if it has been on Lake Powell, decontaminated, and all boaters must complete the mussel-aware course and pay the AIS fee.
Bank & bivvy camping: Roughly two-thirds of Utah is federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed state-park and Forest Service campgrounds on nearly every major reservoir. Some Wasatch Front canyon watersheds (Little/Big Cottonwood, City Creek, Parleys) ban all camping and dogs.
Tackle: The general Utah trout limit is 4, but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- the Green River, the Provo, Blue Ribbon water and the cutthroat-conservation streams especially -- and native chub, sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, bonytail and June sucker must be released. Check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook.
