Fishing Description: 

North Fork Reservoir is stocked regularly with rainbow trout. Wild cutthroat, bull, brown and brook trout are also in the reservoir but these fish are catch and release only. Only adipose fin clipped trout may be kept.

Fishing Tips, Tactics, How-To info: 

The upper end of the reservoir where trout are stocked offers the best fishing. There are many bank angling locations and an area near the mouth is great for kids. Small Fry Lake, a one-acre lake within the Promontory Park, was developed for the exclusive use of young anglers. Kids up to 13 years old can fish for their limit of three fish per day on Small Fry Lake. Alcohol use is not permitted in the Promontory Park campground, day use shelter or at Small Fry Pond.

Tackle & Techniques: Use standard trout fishing techniques including worm and bobber or PowerBait. If using a boat, troll with spinner combinations.
