Tiger trout tend to move out a little deeper during the summer, so fishing from small boats or float tubes is often more productive than shore fishing. Cutthroat and rainbow trout are also present in lower numbers. Fishing early and late in the day will improve success. Various lures, jigs, and flies are effective, while natural baits like nightcrawlers and cut bait (pieces of minnow, chub, or sucker) tend to work better than PowerBait. The tiger trout stocked after the Brian Head fire have survived very well, so feel free to take a limit to help cut down on competition and improve growth. 

Notice: In our spring 2024 netting surveys we found a number of redside shiners. You'll now see schools of these swimming around the lake. These fish were illegally introduced to the reservoir within the last few years. The good news is that the tiger trout should be big enough that they can prey on these fish to help keep the numbers down. We've also stocked a number of splake to help control shiner numbers. 

Remember introducing fish into Utah's waters is illegal.
