Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Lyman, Utah, centers around Otter Creek Reservoir. This reservoir offers a unique smallmouth environment amidst the high desert landscape. The best time to target these bronzebacks is during the late spring and early summer months, as the water begins to warm. Focus your efforts on rocky points, submerged ledges, and any available structure. Crawfish-imitating lures and tubes are particularly effective. Be aware that Otter Creek Reservoir is subject to significant water level fluctuations, which can impact fishing conditions and access. Check water levels before your trip. A local tip: the western side of the reservoir tends to hold more smallmouth due to the rocky shoreline. While the smallmouth here may not reach trophy sizes, they are aggressive and provide exciting action. Consider using lighter tackle for a more sporting fight.
