• Where to Fish on Morrell Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Sevier County: yellow perch, sockeye salmon, Utah sucker, brook trout and brown trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Morrell Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 63°F and January about 22°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Morrell Pond.
