Would you like to see a Utah fishing regulation change? Have an idea for a new rule? Division of Wildlife Resources biologists are already working on possible fishing changes for 2011 and we want to hear from you. Provide feedback on possible 2011 fishing changes.
ATTENTION: Quagga and zebra mussels are a major threat to Utah waterways. Learn more about these destructive mussels and how to decontaminate your boat.
BURRASTON PONDS: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the ponds are stocked every week with trout. Officer Jay Topham reports that most anglers have been successful with traditional baits and lures.
CANYON VIEW PARK POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit. Officer Shawn Bagley reports that anglers are having good success. You'll find open water at the pond, and it's stocked weekly with trout.
DEER CREEK RESERVOIR: (May 28) Many anglers report good success for trout, whether they're fishing from a boat or the shoreline. The water level is high. Many boats were in the Provo River Channel part of the reservoir yesterday afternoon, but I haven't received a report on what they were catching.
DIAMOND FORK RIVER: (May 28) DWR Aquatics Manager Mike Slater reports that he fished Sixth Water this past weekend and did okay. He caught both brown trout and cutthroat. The fish weren't huge, but he had fun. He also fished from Ray's Valley Bridge upstream. He used both wet and dry flies, but only caught fish with the dries. The road up to the upper portion of Sixth Water was still closed.
GRANTSVILLE RESERVOIR: (May 28) The reservoir has been stocked. You'll find fair to good success with traditional baits and lures.
HIGHLAND GLEN PARK: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the pond is stocked every week with trout.
JORDANELLE RESERVOIR: (May 28) There's open water at the reservoir. Anglers report good fishing from boats, tubes and the shoreline.
KIDNEY POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the pond is stocked every week with trout.
MIDAS POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the pond is stocked every week with trout.
MILL HOLLOW RESERVOIR: (May 28) There haven't been any reports this week. Highway 35 is open, but the road to Mill Hollow may not be passable yet.
NINE MILE RESERVOIR: (May 28) Anglers are catching fish with worms, PowerBait or spinners.
PALISADE RESERVOIR & STATE PARK: (May 28) Traditional baits and lures are working well.
PAYSON LAKE: (May 28) The road is usually plowed and open for Memorial Day. Call the U.S. Forest Service for a road update at 801–798-3571.
PROVO RIVER, LOWER: (May 28) Anglers report success with small (size 20 or smaller) midge imitations above I-15 and up to Deer Creek Dam. Sow bugs are a good pattern as well. The river is running a little high.
PROVO RIVER, MIDDLE: (May 28) I only saw one fly angler on stretch below Jordanelle Dam yesterday morning. Midges (size 20 or smaller), sow bugs and small, dark-colored nymphs also work well. There are special regulations on much of the river. Please read the Provo Rivier regulations in the Utah Fishing Guidebook before you fish.
SALEM POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the pond is stocked every week with trout. Traditional baits and lures are working well.
SETTLEMENT CANYON RESERVOIR: (May 28) Anglers report good fishing for recently stocked trout. Use traditional baits and lures.
SPANISH OAKS RESERVOIR: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the reservoir is stocked every week with trout. Officer Bagley reports that anglers are catching fish with baits and lures.
SPRING LAKE: (May 28) The lake is stocked every week with trout.
STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR: (May 28) The reservoir is completely ice-free, and access is good. Try a white tube jig or other baits and lures until you find the right one. If fishing is slow, move around and experiment with different lures and baits. The main regulations at Strawberry are as follows: limit is four trout or kokanee salmon in the aggregate. No more than two may be cutthroat trout under 15 inches, and no more than one may be a cutthroat trout over 22 inches. All cutthroat trout from 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released. Trout or salmon may not be filleted, and the heads or tails may not be removed in the field or in transit.
TIBBLE FORK RESERVOIR: (May 28) There's open water at the reservoir. Anglers report fair success with traditional baits and lures.
UTAH LAKE: (May 28) Officer Chris Rhea reports good success for white bass on the Jordan River and in the northern part of the lake. Many other anglers report great fishing for white bass. Use action lures tipped with bait.
VERNON RESERVOIR: (May 28) The reservoir has been stocked. Anglers report good fishing with traditional baits and lures.
VIVIAN PARK POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit, and the pond has been stocked. Anglers report fair fishing success.
WILLOW POND: (May 28) There's a two-fish daily limit. Officer Mike Roach reports that anglers have had fair to good success for both trout and catfish.
YUBA RESERVOIR & STATE PARK: (May 28) There's open water at the reservoir. Success is slow to fair, but both northern pike and walleye fishing should begin to improve soon. Cast in shallow water (about 5–10 feet deep) for northern pike.
