Foote Reservoir, Utah: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Foote Reservoir is set in Millard County, Utah. The country round it is dry rangeland from end to end. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Utah listings. McGill sits 48 miles from the bank. Ely follows at 56 miles, then Delta at 69 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Foote Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Millard County records list walleye, channel catfish and white bass among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Foote Reservoir a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 76°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Expect Foote Reservoir to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Hole-in-the-Wall Reservoir, 19 miles away. Rules at Foote Reservoir are worth checking on the day.
