Co-op Valley Sinks is a reservoir in Utah, near Iron County.
Co-op Valley Sinks is a reservoir in Iron County, Utah and covers about 72.5 acres, reaches about 32.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,000.3 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
Fish listed for Co-op Valley Sinks include Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Co-op Valley Sinks should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; work an old channel turn, then work each small drop before going deeper.
At Co-op Valley Sinks, 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.
