Mona Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Juab 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.
Mona Reservoir is a reservoir in Juab County, Utah and covers about 1,496 acres, reaches about 23 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 19,190 acre-feet.
Several patterns can work at once on Mona Reservoir, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water.
Fish listed for Mona Reservoir include Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Utah Chub, and Walleye.
To begin with walleye on this water, work a jig, minnow rig, or small crankbait along points and the old channel edge.
At Mona Reservoir, try this for black crappie: fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
At Mona Reservoir, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
At Mona Reservoir, try this for smallmouth bass: drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Black Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Utah Sucker, and 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.
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; start where bait gathers, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
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; check the clearest edge before moving, then change lure speed before moving.
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; cast across the point tip, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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 the warmest edge early in spring, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
Soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset; use a moving lure to search.
treat 23 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
It confirms that utah sucker were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch.
