Foote Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Millard County.
Foote Reservoir is a reservoir in Millard County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 12.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.3 acre-feet.
The small size of Foote Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; use a light bait when the water is clear, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; start near the best mix of cover, then repeat the first clean pattern.
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; follow a short creek arm, then use a moving lure to search.
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; begin near moving water, then match lure size to the 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; pause the bait on each small drop, then add vibration in stained water.
