Fish species in Mayors Pond

Official stocking history

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.

Mayors Pond is a reservoir in Box Elder County, Utah and holds roughly 20.7 acre-feet.

The recorded size of Mayors Pond is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Mayors Pond include Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

One direct rainbow trout tactic on Mayors Pond is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

While looking for brown trout on Mayors Pond, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.

Brook Trout, and 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; make one pass close to bottom.

How to Read the Water

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; use a light bait when the water is clear, then use a moving lure to search.

Season by Season

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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then try natural colors in clear water.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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 move only after checking the nearby drop.

At Mayors Pond, 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.
