Cement Ponds is a reservoir in Box Elder County, Utah and covers about 51.1 acres, reaches about 29.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 642.2 acre-feet.

Fish listed for Cement Ponds include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass.
When black crappie are the target on this water, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
While looking for bluegill on this water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
Start the smallmouth bass search on this water by trying to drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point.
At Cement Ponds, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; separate open water from cover.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; try natural colors in clear water.
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; follow any bait found near the surface, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
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; search one cove before changing areas, then fish the same shape nearby.
Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; check both sides of the point.
Treat 29.2 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; separate open water from cover.
