Fish species in Millrace Park 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.

Millrace Park Pond is a lake in Salt Lake County, Utah and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2.8 acre-feet.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Millrace Park Pond include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.

At Millrace Park Pond, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

At Millrace Park Pond, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

At Millrace Park Pond, try this for channel catfish: fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

At Millrace Park Pond, try this for rainbow trout: cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; add vibration in stained water.

Wiper have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; try a natural color before a loud pattern.

How to Read the Water

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; begin over firm bottom, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.

Season by Season

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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then keep the bait near useful cover.

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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then compare shallow and deeper water.

At Millrace Park 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.
