Lake Information

Strawberry Reservoir is an expansive and popular fishing destination located in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. With a surface area of 16,218 acres, it is Utah's largest natural reservoir and attracts visitors from all over the state and beyond. One of the reasons for its popularity is its reputation as Utah's best trout fishery. Anglers can expect consistent action for large rainbow and cutthroat trout, as well as kokanee salmon. The reservoir is fed by the Strawberry River and several small creeks, which provide a constant supply of cool, oxygen-rich water, ideal for supporting a healthy fish population. The water is also relatively clear, which allows anglers to see fish cruising near the surface and sight-fishing is a popular technique. The shoreline is mostly rocky, and there are numerous coves and inlets where fish like to hang out. Rainbow and cutthroat trout up to 24 inches are caught regularly at Strawberry Reservoir, and larger fish do show up occasionally. In fact, the most massive cutthroat ever caught in Utah was taken here back in 1930, weighing in at a whopping 27 pounds. This impressive catch is a testament to the quality of fishing available at Strawberry Reservoir. In addition to its fishing opportunities, Strawberry Reservoir is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. It offers boating, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The surrounding landscape is characterized by high mountain peaks, alpine forests, and meadows, providing a picturesque backdrop for any activity. Overall, Strawberry Reservoir is a must-visit destination for anglers in Utah and beyond. With its reputation as Utah's best trout fishery, consistent action for large fish, and stunning scenery, it's no wonder that it is such a popular destination. Whether you're an experienced angler looking for your next trophy catch or a beginner looking to catch your first fish, Strawberry Reservoir has something for everyone.
