Bicknell Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Wayne County.
Bicknell Reservoir is a reservoir in Wayne County, Utah and covers about 0.5 acres, reaches about 8.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.8 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; work each small drop before going deeper. With little deep water in Bicknell Reservoir, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; watch water color during the day.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; match the hook and line to the named target.
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; check a protected pocket, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; start with the cover closest to deep water, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
