Three Creeks Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Beaver 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.
Three Creeks Reservoir in Beaver County is a reservoir in Utah and covers about 53.4 acres, reaches about 35 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 803.2 acre-feet.
Three Creeks Reservoir can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; start with the cover closest to deep water, then try natural colors in clear water.
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; fish a small bottom change, then separate open water from cover.
Rainbow Trout, and Tiger Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; look along a shallow shelf, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; start on a firm point, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
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 from shallow to deep, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
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; test a shaded bank, then make one pass close to bottom.
