Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass enthusiasts, Newton Reservoir near Newton, Utah, offers a solid fishing opportunity. Unlike some reservoirs dominated by largemouth, Newton holds a respectable population of smallmouth, particularly around its rocky points and dam face. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being especially productive. Focus on areas with rocky substrate and current, if any exists. A local trick is to use crayfish-imitation lures along the dam face, as the smallmouth tend to congregate there. There is a boat ramp available for easy access, though it can get busy. Smallmouth in Newton Reservoir are known for their aggressive strikes and fight, so be prepared for a battle. Tube baits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits are all effective choices. Remember to check water levels before your trip, as they can fluctuate.
