Fishing waters

7 local reports

DWR Northern Region fall reports, in our own words. DWR hasn’t posted a star rating for these waters, so we don’t show one. Tap a report for the full text. Willard Bay and Mantua are in Box Elder County, and Echo is in Summit, so they aren’t listed here.

Pineview Reservoir

Huntsville · Weber County
Smallmouth bassSmallmouth bassLargemouth bassLargemouth bassCrappieCrappie
No DWR rating posted

Pineview is drawn way down for Ogden City’s pipeline replacement. Fish are packed into the deep water that’s left: the old river channel, steep banks and the Narrows riprap.

  • Low water: every conventional boat ramp is out of the water, so trailered boats can’t launch. Watercraft that don’t need a ramp may still be used where access allows.
  • New shoreline can be muddy, soft or steep.

Andy Adams, Bountiful Lake, Farmington Pond, Holmes Creek, Jensen Nature Park, Kaysville Ponds and Meadow Creek all have DWR fall outlooks. Fall trout stocking runs from early September to mid-October, and DWR calls catch rates good to great. Try a nightcrawler under a bobber or dough bait on the bottom.

  • DWR planted channel catfish in 11 in-market ponds on Oct. 6 (see the stocking table above).
  • Holmes Creek also has largemouth and bluegill. Andy Adams has crappie and bluegill.
