AMERICAN FORK RIVER: (Nov 14) Light fishing pressure and fair success.
BURRASTON POND: (Nov 14) Fair to good fishing success.<br />
DEER CREEK RESERVOIR: (Nov 14) Over 70,000 10- to 12-inch rainbow trout were stocked in the reservoir last month. Fishing success is good. State Park Ranger reports that boat ramps are closed but at the Island ramp it is "launch at your own risk". Some vehicles have been getting stuck in the mud. You may want to reconsider using large boats because you have to back into the water quite a ways to reach deeper water. Call State Park for boat launching information at (435) 654-0171. Remember Bass limit is six, but immediately release all bass over 12 inches long. Walleye limit was increased this year to 10 but only one over 24 inches may be kept.<br />
DIAMOND FORK RIVER: (Nov 14) Angler Brent reports fair success for brown trout on the lower stretch of the river by using flies. The closed area above three forks will open up to angling on January 1 (The DWR treated Diamond Fork River last year with rotenone from Three Forks to its headwaters to remove all fish - mostly browns). Over 20,000 Bonneville cutthroat trout fingerlings were stocked last October into this area to help restore this sensitive species and to provide anglers a good sport fishery. The restoration stretch is closed to fishing but the first 10 miles of Diamond Fork (from the turnoff of Hwy 6) is not affected by this treatment and anglers report slow success for brown trout. Diamond Fork, from Springville Crossing to its headwaters, is artificial flies and lures only, and it is closed to cutthroat trout possession.<br />
HOBBLE CREEK & CATCH BASIN: (Nov 14) Angler Bob reports catching several trout, including a 16-inch brown this week by using flies. Most anglers report that the best fishing on Hobble Creek is in the early morning or evening with flies, small spinners or lures.<br />
JORDANELLE RESERVOIR: (Nov 14) Anglers report that the water level is down but fishing is reported as "good" for smaller trout from both boat and shoreline and "slow" for bass. Gorgeous scenery. Bass limit is six, but immediately release all bass over 12 inches long.<br />
MILL HOLLOW: Drained! No fishing until 2009!<br />
PAYSON LAKE: (Nov 14) Officer Bagley reports low pressure with fair to good fishing for both rainbow and brook trout.<br />
PROVO RIVER: (Nov 14) Spawn of brown trout is occurring and fish aggressively take lures or flies. Read the fishing proclamation for the different regulations on the river some areas allow bait and others do not. Size restrictions and reduced limits ("two brown trout under 15 inches") in place in some stretches.<br />
SALEM POND: (Nov 14) Officer Bagley reports Fair success for trout and bluegill. The park is closed to at 10:00 p.m. each night. Remember that regulations include: limit is four fish (Daily bag and possession limit is a total of four fish in the aggregate for all species, for example: one trout, two channel catfish and one bluegill.<br />
SALT LAKE WATER: (Nov 14) Most urban ponds have been recently stocked over the last week or so these waters continue to produce fair to good fishing.<br />
SPANISH OAKS RESERVOIR: (Nov 14) Officer Bagley report limited success on trout.<br />
SPRING LAKE: (Nov 14) Officer Bagley reports that anglers are still catching catfish. Fair success for trout as well. Worms and PowerBait work best.<br />
STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR: (Nov 14) Boat docks have been pulled for the season, making launching and loading a little difficult. Good fishing success reported by most anglers. Morning can be very cold so dress warmly. Some very large cutts are being caught (over 23-27 inches). Try tube jigs, dark wooly buggers, minnow-imitating lures (pointer minnows are very popular) or simply traditional baits. Regulations for the reservoir include an aggregate limit of four trout or kokanee salmon. No more than two of which may be cutthroat trout under 15 inches and no more than one may be a cutthroat over 22 inches long. All cutthroat between 15 and 22 inches must be immediately released (any trout with cutthroat markings is considered a cutthroat). Don't feel compelled to harvest fish on every trip. Please do your part to ensure the future of this heavily utilized fishery by voluntarily releasing fish!<br />
THISTLE CREEK: (Nov 14) Low Pressure, with fair to good success.<br />
TIBBLE FORK RESERVOIR: (Nov 14) Fair to good success by using traditional baits.<br />
