Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Species logged across Carbon County include brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Turpin Reservoir light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. North Banner Lake sits 2.1 miles off and takes the overflow.
