Worley Reservoir in Twin Falls County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Worley Reservoir is one of the Twin Falls County listings for Idaho. The water sits 5,381 feet up. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Twin Falls County list. The nearest town is Jackpot, 25 miles away. Boise sits 112 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Worley Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Twin Falls County records list rainbow trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout among the fish reported. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Worley Reservoir to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 65°F; by January the average is down near 26°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Time your trip to Worley Reservoir by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Cedar Creek Reservoir, 7.4 miles out. Nothing on Worley Reservoir should be assumed from this page alone.
