Tibble Fork Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah County, Utah and covers about 11.4 acres, reaches about 40 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 380 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; pause the bait on each small drop, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Tibble Fork Reservoir include Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
A useful rainbow trout plan on Tibble Fork Reservoir is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
The first brown trout pass on Tibble Fork Reservoir should work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
Cutthroat 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; keep the first pass close to structure, then use the old channel as a guide.
How to Read the Water
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; match lure size to the visible food, then follow bait before changing areas.
Season by Season
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then watch water color during the day.
A Simple Tackle Plan
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; follow a short creek arm, then save the heaviest tackle for deep 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; check the downwind corner for food, then keep the bait near useful cover.
