Gadwall Pool Fishing in Juab County, Utah

• Overview

  Gadwall Pool lies within the bounds of Juab County, Utah. The bank is 4,288 feet above sea level. Roughly 380 acres of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Shoreline length is close to 3.1 miles, and each section fishes a little differently. It lies lower than most water we list in Utah. Delta lies 56 miles from the water. Further out sit Grantsville (67 miles) and Wendover (68 miles). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Gadwall Pool

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Survey and observation records for Juab County include Utah chub, redside shiner and speckled dace. The county list is broader than any single water. On Gadwall Pool that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 77°F and January near 29°F on the long-run figures. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan any trip to Gadwall Pool around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Ibis Pool sits 1.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Gadwall Pool is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
