Current Conditions
Hyrum Reservoir was created in 1935 by the construction of an earth-fill dam. The reservoir shoreline is owned by the State of Utah with mostly unrestricted public access, although fees are charged in improved recreation areas.
Hyrum State Park's facilities are located on the northern shore, and include 31 RV campsites, restrooms, showers, a ranger station, boat ramp, dock, and trailheads.
Fish Species:
- Bluegill
- Brown Trout
- Channel Catfish
- Largemouth Bass
- Rainbow Trout
- Tiger Trout (Hyrum was first stocked with 25,000 Tiger Trout summer 2006 and continues to receive more each year.)
- Yellow Perch
Current Regulations:
- Two poles may be used if a 2-pole permit is purchased
Fishing Tips:
Fish Hyrum from the shore or a boat. Standard trout bait such as Powerbait should work from shore, or try trolling from a boat using crankbaits or spinners. Fish with worms for panfish or catfish.
