Fishing report

Deer Creek Reservoir (December through February): Deer Creek Reservoir typically has open water through December and January, and the wedge ramps are left in place for boat anglers. Boat and float tube anglers typically see good rainbow trout catch rates trolling squid rigs, white tub jigs and balanced leach fly patterns. We recommend anglers trolling for trout target the 10’-20’ Water column in December and the 15’-30’ water column in January. Shore anglers tend to see fair to good rainbow trout catch rates in December and fair catch rates in January. We recommend using garlic or corn scented trout dough bait fishing 3-feet behind a casting bubble. DWR’s fall stocking efforts of catch-able size rainbow trout in October and November should provide anglers fair to good trout fishing this winter. Thin ice starts to develop during the first half of January near the dam, in the Wallsburg arm, along the shore in Rainbow Bay and the Island, and in the north Charelston portion of the reservoir. Deer Creek can freeze/cap completely during the late part of January. However, the reservoir doesn’t typically remain fully capped/frozen for very long. By mid-February, it’s fairly common to have a mixture of ice and open water, with some fish-able ice (ice that is at least 4” thick) from the Island day use area north toward the Provo River. Ice conditions deteriorate quickly in late February. Large mouth and small mouth bass are challenging to catch in the winter. Walleye and yellow perch can be caught through the ice. We recommend fishing using tungsten ice jugs tipped with night crawler fished off the bottom and targeting deep water (45’-55’).
