Hey everyone! So I have been having a bit of bad luck fishing this Summer, but I finally found a good spot and I wanted to share it with any of you who are just looking to catch some good fish. We caught about 25-30 fish in the 4 hours we were at Silver Flat Reservoir from about 0700-1130. We used bobbers at first without a ton of luck. Then we switched to barrel weights and floated a worm with garlic power bait eggs and/or charteuse. We started getting bites immediately, and the bites were no more than 10 minutes apart throughout the duration of our stay.
The fish there were much bigger than the majority of them we found down the road at Tibble Fork, though there are still a lot of small ones. There are big enough fish to keep though, and you will undoubtedly hit your limit with garlic and worms. The lake is pretty low right now, but it hasn't effected anything other than getting a bit of moss on your line.We fished from the corner of the lake near the damn, just off where the road first meets the lake. We will be heading back out there soon with a raft to see if the fish are any bigger near the center of the lake.
Silver Flat Reservoir is located up American Fork Canyon. Turn left at the fork past Timpanogas cave. It's the dirt road that goes up the mountain past tibble fork reservoir. The drive can be a bit bumpy and rocky if you are in a car, but its not too bad if you take it slow. Fish or no fish, it is almost worth the drive up there just to see how beautiful it is.
Let me know if you need any other info, and or if you know any other good spots around Salt Lake.
