General: Most lakes and reservoirs are blanketed by snow, which insulates and can weaken ice.
Please observe ice fishing safety precautions, such as fishing with a buddy, wearing wool clothing, carrying a pair of ice picks, and bringing along a rope and floatation device.
Cleveland Reservoir: Cleveland-Huntington Irrigation Company will be taking water from the reservoir all winter long, making ice conditions unstable and very hazardous. The DWR urges all winter recreationalists to stay off the reservoir.
Huntington Reservoir: (on the Wasatch Plateau, Sanpete County) Fishing has been slow.
Joe’s Valley Reservoir: Joe’s Valley Reservoir reopens for fishing on Dec. 11. Emery Water Conservancy District prohibits the use of snow machines or ATVs on the ice.
