Desert Mountain Reservoir is a reservoir in Juab County, Utah and covers about 2.7 acres, reaches about 13.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 15.4 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check the downwind corner for food, then keep the bait near useful cover.
Fish listed for Desert Mountain Reservoir include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, and Largemouth Bass.
A useful bluegill plan on Desert Mountain Reservoir is to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
For largemouth bass on Desert Mountain Reservoir, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
Start the channel catfish search on Desert Mountain Reservoir by trying to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
When common carp are the target on Desert Mountain Reservoir, place corn or a dough bait on the bottom along a shallow flat.
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; begin beside green weeds, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then look for a second bite before leaving.
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; pause the bait on each small drop, then make one pass close 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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then look for a second bite before leaving.
