Conditions
: DEER CREEK RESERVOIR: The reservoir is thawing, with open water present from the Island day-use bay north to Charleston. Deer Creek State Park staff are working to get courtesy docks in place as soon as possible at both the Main and Island ramps. The state park warns boat anglers that floating ice sheets can move at any time, so launch at your own risk. The ice at the Main ramp is receding along the shoreline, giving shore anglers 15 to 20 feet of open fishable water. The Wallsburg arm is melted back towards the campground, giving shore anglers ample area to fish via the free walk-in parking lot/access trail. Reported by: Utah D.W.R |

About: -
Deer Creek Reservoir Deer Creek
State Park is located in the southwest corner of Heber Valley at about 5400
feet in elevation. The reservoir is approximately six miles long with a maximum
surface area of 2,965 acres, a mean depth of 65 feet (maximum depth of 137
feet), and offers 18 miles of shoreline.
The reservoir
consistently provides some of Utah's finest year-round fishing.
One paved and three gravel boat ramps provide access to
the deeper waters of the reservoir. Numerous access points from Highway 189
offer prime shore fishing. Since Deer Creek is well known for its strong summer
winds, fishing is most successful in the early morning or evening hours. Fish
cleaning stations provide additional conveniences and marinas offer boat rentals
and some fishing gear.
Directions: All weather access from U.S. 189 southwest from Heber, Utah.
