Official stocking history

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.

Town Reservoir is a reservoir in Sanpete County, Utah and covers about 6.4 acres, reaches about 23 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 45 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; fish where rock meets mud, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; start on a firm point, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.

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; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then repeat the first clean pattern.

Brook Trout, and Rainbow 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; let a light jig fall beside the break.

How to Read the Water

Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; match lure size to the visible food, then repeat the first clean pattern.

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; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; keep the first pass close to structure, then work each small drop before going deeper.

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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
