Emery Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Sanpete County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Emery Reservoir is a reservoir in Sanpete County, Utah and covers about 13.6 acres, reaches about 21 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 145 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
Fish listed for Emery Reservoir include Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
The first rainbow trout pass on Emery Reservoir should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Tiger Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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; work an old channel turn, then check both sides of the point.
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; follow a short creek arm, then repeat the depth that gives the first 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; follow a short creek arm, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then match lure size to the fish.
