Cement Ponds in Box Elder County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Cement Ponds lies within the bounds of Box Elder County, Utah. The bank gives way to farm and woodlot. The water covers some 51 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Shoreline comes to about 1.1 miles, small enough to learn in a day. It is low-lying compared with other Utah water we list. The closest town, Brigham City, is 4.3 miles distant. Then Honeyville, 5.2 miles, and Perry, 7 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 73°F and January at 26°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Cement Ponds that shapes the whole year. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Skating Pond, 3.3 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Cement Ponds for certain.
