What the record actually says

Stocked 4 days ago (Oct 19)

Computed this evening, Oct 23 · Utah fishing forecast

Gear for this water

Stocked within the last three weeks: fish are still bunched near the release points and keyed on familiar smells.

For the trout (cutthroat trout stocked 14 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Slip bobber and jig	1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth
Ultralight spinning rod	6 to 7 ft ultralight, 4 lb line; long casts from the bank
Dough bait rigs	floating dough bait 18 inches above a small egg sinker; hatchery fish know the smell

For the muskie and pike (tiger muskellunge stocked 2 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Oversized landing net	a stocked muskie fishery deserves a proper release tool
Heavy casting rod	7.5 to 9 ft heavy with 65 to 80 lb braid; these fish punish light gear
Large bucktails and gliders	big profile baits; finish every cast with a figure-eight
