Gunnison 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.
Gunnison Reservoir is a reservoir in Sanpete County, Utah and covers about 1,248.2 acres, reaches about 28 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 12,800 acre-feet.
Several patterns can work at once on Gunnison Reservoir, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water.
Fish listed for Gunnison Reservoir include Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
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; work from shallow to deep, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
Rainbow 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 first clean pattern.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; search one cove before changing areas, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; start near the best mix of cover, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; follow any bait found near the surface, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
At Gunnison Reservoir, 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.
Fish one shoreline from shallow cover to the first drop, and use fresh local information before choosing a target species; fish the same shape nearby.
Treat 28 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 rainbow trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch; fish the same shape nearby.
