Wests Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Emery County.
Wests Reservoir is a reservoir in Emery County, Utah and covers about 2.2 acres, reaches about 12.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 11.9 acre-feet.
Wests Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; follow a short creek arm, then write down the productive depth.
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 the strongest cover, then match lure size to the fish.
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; start beside deeper water, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; test the clearest edge, then give shaded water a separate pass.
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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then keep the first route short.
