Kenneth Anderson Reservoir Fishing in Wasatch County, Utah

• Overview

  Kenneth Anderson Reservoir is a Wasatch County water, Utah side. It lies 7,021 feet above sea level. Small at around 6 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The town to know is Heber City, 7.6 miles out. It is 27 miles to Provo, the nearest city. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Kenneth Anderson Reservoir

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Wasatch County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout and black-spotted cutthroat trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Kenneth Anderson Reservoir to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 64°F on average, January about 23°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Break-up near early April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Kenneth Anderson Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Jones Reservoir at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Kenneth Anderson Reservoir in what we hold.
