About Deer Creek Reservoir

Deer Creek Reservoir, a medium-sized lake situated at an elevation of 5,420 feet, offers a dynamic fly fishing experience from April through November. Anglers can target rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass within the reservoir's 18 miles of shoreline. The Provo River, both above and below the reservoir, also provides excellent stream fishing opportunities. While specific hatch charts are not detailed, the presence of trout and bass suggests potential for significant insect activity throughout the fishing season. The reservoir's open waters accommodate various fishing styles, and nearby amenities support extended angling trips.
