Trout Fishing Tips for Strawberry Reservoir

Ice has started melting along the shorelines of Utah's Strawberry Reservoir. This means anglers are out enjoying one of Utah's most popular trout fishery.

Fishing has been good, especially around the Soldier Creek side of the reservoir.

DWR Conservation Officer Paul Davis says many anglers are finding great success by casting tube jigs, minnow-imitating lures or even traditional baits toward the edge of the ice. That's where hungry trout are often lurking.

There is still quite a bit of ice in some areas of the reservoir (especially around the Strawberry Marina so this boat ramp is closed), so boaters should be careful.

Keep in mind that Strawberry Reservoir does have it's own special rules regarding trout catches. You can only catch 4 trout a day and all cutthroat trout between 15 - 22 inches must be released. You may only keep 2 cutthroat trout under 15 inches and only 1 cutthroat trout over 22 inches.
