Jenkins Flat Pond is a lake in Juab County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 8.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 6.4 acre-feet.

Jenkins Flat Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Jenkins Flat Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; test the clearest edge, then add vibration in stained water.

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; fish a small bottom change, then test the drop before leaving.

How to Read the Water

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; test the clearest edge, then keep the bait above soft bottom.

Season by Season

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 where bait gathers, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; test a shaded bank, then use a smaller lure in clear water.

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; follow the outside weed line, then make one pass close to bottom.
