Reeds Pond is a lake in Utah, near Emery County.
Reeds Pond is a lake in Emery County, Utah and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 6.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.9 acre-feet.
Reeds Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Reeds Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; fish where rock meets mud, then use the old channel as a guide.
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; begin near moving water, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; try the windblown bank, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.
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; check the clearest edge before moving, then check both sides of the point.
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; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then make one pass close to 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; begin over firm bottom, then compare shallow and deeper water.
