• Where to Fish on Grahams Reservoir

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Uinta County: cutthroat trout, brown trout, Utah sucker, rainbow trout and mountain whitefish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Grahams Reservoir responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 56°F and December at 21°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid May. From about mid May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. At Grahams Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.
