Curlew Pool is a reservoir in Utah, near Juab County.
Curlew Pool is a reservoir in Juab County, Utah and covers about 371.9 acres, reaches about 50.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 8,011.6 acre-feet.
The best plan at Curlew Pool is to choose one arm or shoreline and work it from shallow cover to the first deep break. Deep water at Curlew Pool gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
Fish listed for Curlew Pool include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, and Largemouth Bass.
Start the black crappie search on Curlew Pool by trying to fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
For bluegill on Curlew Pool, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
At Curlew Pool, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
The first channel catfish pass on Curlew Pool should fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; use one moving lure and one slow bait.
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; let wind choose the first bank, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; try a natural color before a loud pattern.
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; start on a firm point, then watch water color during the day.
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; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
