Pony Express Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Millard County.
Pony Express Reservoir is a reservoir in Millard County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 12.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.3 acre-feet.
The small size of Pony Express Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; test the quiet side before the windy side, then change lure speed before moving.
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; pause the bait on each small drop, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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 with the cover closest to deep water, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; pause the bait on each small drop, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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 where rock meets mud, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
