Suttons Reservoir, Utah: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Summit County, Utah, you have Suttons Reservoir. This is mixed forest country. The water measures roughly 17 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Evanston sits 9.5 miles from the bank. Beyond it, Coalville at 25 miles and Morgan at 31 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge. Quiet on weekdays, busier when the weather turns fine.

• Where to Fish on Suttons Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Summit County list brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout and Utah sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Suttons Reservoir the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 64°F at the top of summer and 18°F at the bottom of winter. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about late November in a typical year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan around that when you fish Suttons Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Shearing Corral Reservoir, 1.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Suttons Reservoir in particular, ask before you travel.
