• Overview

  Utah holds Midway Reservoir, in Summit County. The land about it is mixed forest. About 7 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

Nearby alternatives: Silver Lake Islet 2 miles away, Lake Brimhall just 2.1 miles, Silver Lake 2.2 miles away, Bloods Lake just 2.7 miles and Lackawaxen Lake 2.8 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Midway Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Fish documented in Summit County include brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and brook trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Midway Reservoir repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 59°F in July and bottoms out near 22°F in December. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Anyone fishing Midway Reservoir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Silver Lake Islet, 2 miles out. None of that is settled for Midway Reservoir in what we hold.
