Towave Reservoir is a reservoir in Uintah County, Utah and covers about 57.9 acres, reaches about 30.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 751.4 acre-feet.

Towave Reservoir is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use water color to choose the first lure, then slow down after the first 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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then repeat the first clean pattern.

How to Read the Water

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; cast across the point tip, then make one pass close to bottom.

Season by Season

Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; follow any bait found near the surface, then use a smaller lure in clear water.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Towave Reservoir, 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.

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 the best shade during bright hours, then keep one slow bait ready.
