Forsyth Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Sevier 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.
Forsyth Reservoir is a reservoir in Sevier County, Utah and covers about 166.1 acres, reaches about 55 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 3,639 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; fish the same shape nearby. Deep water at Forsyth Reservoir gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
Fish listed for Forsyth Reservoir include Splake, Rainbow Trout, Tiger Trout, Utah Chub, Utah Sucker, and Yellow Perch.
Start the yellow perch search on this water by trying to keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf.
At Forsyth Reservoir, try this for rainbow trout: cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
At Forsyth Reservoir, try this for tiger trout: cast a small spoon, spinner, minnow lure, or fly along cool rocky edges.
Cutthroat 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; repeat the depth that gives the first bite.
Start here: use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
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; work an old channel turn, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; match lure size to the visible food, then work each small drop before going deeper.
Jig or troll a spoon or minnow lure near cool shelves and deep rock.
Treat 55 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
It confirms that cutthroat trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch.
