Trout stocking has ended for the year, but there are still plenty of fish to be had whether the pond is open water or covered with ice. Ice presence and thickness is highly variable at this pond, so be cautious and use good judgment. Anglers are encouraged to review the Utah State Parks ice safety guide. When the pond is covered with safe ice, you can catch rainbow trout and bluegill by tipping a small jig with either a mealworm or a waxworm and fishing it near the bottom of the reservoir. Light line (4-to-6-pound test) and tackle is recommended. When open water conditions are present, try fishing trout dough bait or worms 1–2 feet off the bottom. Trout stocking is scheduled to resume in March 2026.
