Utah
Currant Creek Reservoir is a small lake of about 270 acres at roughly 7,700 feet in the forest north of US-40, fed by Currant Creek and held back for the Central Utah Project. It is small enough to cover from a float tube in a morning and sheltered enough that the wind is often kinder than on Strawberry, half an hour away.
The state stocks it with rainbows, cutthroat and tiger trout. In June and early July, after the road opens and the ice goes, fish cruise the shallow edges and the inlet arm and eat chironomids, damsels and leeches; a slow-sinking line along the weed edges is the standard approach. Midsummer pushes them deeper toward the dam, and fall brings them back up. The streams that feed it are artificial flies and lures only.
