Suttons Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Rich County.
Suttons Reservoir is a reservoir in Rich County, Utah and covers about 16.8 acres, reaches about 21.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 69 acre-feet.
The small size of Suttons 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; pause the bait on each small drop, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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; follow the old channel through the lake, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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; start beside the first useful break, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
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; work from shallow to deep, then use wind to narrow the search.
