Joes Valley Reservoir (Blue Ribbon):
Summer fishing forecast (June through August): Surface water temperatures are in the upper 50s and low 60s. Due to spring runoff, the reservoir is now at 62% capacity. Early summer can still provide great shore fishing for trout and fast fishing for tiger muskie.

Splake: Early morning fishing is key for targeting splake in the month of June. Splake will cruise the shallow shoreline before daylight feeding on Utah chub. Utah chub will congregate to spawn in shallow rocky and weedy areas, and splake will target the spawning chub as a food source. Try using dead Utah chub as bait to catch fish during this timeframe. Cut off a 1-inch by 1-inch piece of chub meat and thread it on a 1/8-ounce or 1/4-ounce jig head. Cast the bait out and let it sit on the bottom. Casting tube jigs and swimbaits tipped with chub meat will also work from shore. Keep your jig close to the bottom as you retrieve/reel, because most fish will hug the bottom. Other good lures to try will be silver/white or black/white crankbaits. Splake will go to deeper water later in the summer. For best results try trolling a pop gear and a spoon or a flatfish in a bright color.

Rainbow trout: Good fishing for rainbows is typical for this time of year. Use standard trout fishing tactics from shore like worm and marshmallow/salmon egg, PowerBait, spinners and spoons. In July and August, troll a pop gear and worm or spoons to target fish in deeper water. Rainbow trout have been stocked into the reservoir since 2018. 

Tiger muskie: Look for fish along rocky shorelines in water 5 to 15 feet deep. Most fish are feeding on Utah chub and crayfish along the rocks. This is a perfect opportunity to target fish with a fly rod. Large streamers (4–10 inches) cast along rock outcroppings will produce best results. Cast swimbaits or crankbaits that look like chubs (silver/white and black/white) as another option. Later in the summer, fish will move to deeper water from 15 to 25 feet deep. Troll crankbaits and swimbaits to target these deeper fish. 

Cutthroat trout: Cutthroat trout in the reservoir are self-sustaining and use the tributaries to spawn. Target cutthroat with similar tactics as splake. Use tube jigs tipped with chub meat and crankbaits in early June. Target fish in deeper water later in the summer by trolling spoons or pop gear. (June 01, 2022)
