Birch Creek Reservoir - Woodruff, UT
Lake Information
| Fish Species: | Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Tiger Trout |
Birch Creek Reservoir near Woodruff, UT, is a 75-acre high-elevation trout lake popular with anglers looking for quiet water and quality fish. Rainbow trout are the primary target and average 12–16 inches, caught using bait near the dam or small spinners along the shore.
Tiger trout are stocked and offer exciting action for those casting streamers or trolling small crankbaits. They hold near drop-offs and structure. Brook trout are an occasional catch, especially during cool-weather periods.
Boaters and float tubers have an edge in reaching deeper water, but shore fishing remains productive throughout the season. Ice fishing is solid in winter, with jigs and mealworms catching fish in deeper areas.
Access is seasonal—roads may be closed during snow season. Camping is primitive, and there are no developed amenities.
For anglers who enjoy mountain solitude, minimal competition, and productive trout action, Birch Creek Reservoir is a dependable destination.
