Lakes We Guide On
Scofield Reservoir
Target species: Tiger trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, Tiger Musky
Why fish here: One of Utah’s top cold-water lakes with strong action year-round. Excellent ice fishing, big-fish potential, and consistent multi-species days.
Best for: Anglers wanting a mix of numbers and trophy potential, winter trips, and anyone who wants to learn how to target bigger predatory trout.
Location: About 1 hour 45 minutes from SLC, located in the mountains of Carbon County.
Rockport Reservoir
Target species: Rainbow trout, brown trout, perch
Why fish here:Rockport quietly holds some sleeping giants—thick rainbow trout and heavy-bodied browns that surprise even experienced anglers. The whitefish population makes this lake incredibly healthy, drawing in big predators and keeping the bite active all year.
Best for: Beginners, and anyone looking for steady action with the chance at a trophy-class trout.
Location: 45 minutes from SLC.
Strawberry Reservoir
Target species: Cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, kokanee salmon
Why fish here: Strawberry is one of Utah’s crown jewels — a big, cold reservoir that grows trout thick, fast, and aggressive. The cutthroat population is incredibly healthy, and the rainbows here are known for their hard fights.
Best for: Anglers looking for quality fish, steady action, and a real shot at landing a personal best cutthroat. Great for serious anglers and beginners who want a high-success day.
Location: About 1 hour 40 minutes from SLC.
