76-acre reservoir in Sanpete County, Utah. The lake tops out around 14 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Ferron Reservoir's chart carries 1.5 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. Sanpete County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Duck Fork Reservoir, is 2 mi to the north.
Spring brook trout on Ferron Reservoir hold shallow, usually 2 to 14 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 4 to 14 ft in summer, 2 to 14 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 14 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 14 ft | dawn | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 14 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 14 ft, and winter fish hold in 4 to 14 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 3 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 4 to 14 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 4 to 14 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 14 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 14 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 6 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 14 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
