Seasonal forecasts:

Academy Mill Reservoir:
Winter/spring fishing forecast (December through May): This high-elevation waterbody can be difficult to access for ice fishing. Deep snow can make this and other high-elevation waterbodies inaccessible to wheeled vehicles. Generally, roads are clear and open by Memorial Day. Snow drifts may block access until mid-June this year. (March 24, 2023)

Benches Pond:
Winter/spring fishing forecast (December through May): This high-elevation waterbody is a great location for ice fishing for some trout. Winter access is not maintained to the parking lot and restroom. Ice often melts off in late May. As the snow melts and the reservoir fills, you can expect the water to be murky or muddy. Trout typically do not overwinter in this pond. Catchable-sized rainbow trout are stocked in the spring. (March 24, 2023)

Blanding Reservoir No. 4:
Spring fishing forecast (March through May): Ice often melts off this reservoir in March. As the snow melts and the reservoir fills, you can often expect the water to be murky or muddy near the inlet. Hungry rainbow trout often provide good fishing as the water temperature warms and triggers feeding. Standard bait fishing tactics typically produce success this time of year. Large tiger trout are often observed feeding in shallow water along the shoreline. (March 24, 2023)

Boulger Reservoir:
Winter/spring fishing forecast (December through May): This high-elevation waterbody is a great location for ice fishing for some trout.

Note: Skyline Mine will be mining underneath the reservoir this year, and Utah Dam Safety is requiring the lake to be drained while the undermining occurs. It will likely remain empty until fall 2024 when the project is scheduled for completion. The daily bag limit is four trout. (March 24, 2023)

Carbon County Community Fishing Pond:
Spring fishing forecast (April through May): Ice often melts off the pond in late March or early April. Carbon County will open the pond to public access shortly after ice-off. Rainbow trout are typically stocked at the beginning of each month. Trout catch rates are good during these spring months. We recommend using a piece of nightcrawler fished below a bobber, or trout dough bait fished off the bottom.
