Broken Pond, Utah: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Broken Pond is an Emery County water, in Utah. It sits at 5,794 feet above sea level. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. Our Emery County list holds plenty of bigger water. The nearest town is Ferron, 16 miles away. Castle Dale follows at 25 miles, then Orangeville at 25 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Broken Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name rainbow trout, brown trout and black-spotted cutthroat trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Broken Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 73°F, with January the cold end at about 26°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Expect Broken Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Twin Ponds at 1.3 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Broken Pond in what we hold.
