Fishing forecast (September through November): Paragonah Reservoir has a conservation pool, so it has fared better through the drought than other reservoirs. As the water cools in the fall, expect summer algae to die off and settle out. Once that happens, trout will begin feeding actively to bulk up before winter. Look for fair to good fishing for tiger, rainbow and cutthroat trout using various flies, lures and natural baits. The tiger trout stocked after the Brian Head Fire have survived very well, so feel free to take a limit to help cut down on competition and improve growth. In our spring netting surveys we found a number of redside shiners. You'll now see schools of these swimming around the lake. These fish were illegally introduced to the reservoir within the last few years. The good news is that the tiger trout should be big enough to prey on these fish and help keep their numbers down. We've also stocked a number of splake and tiger muskie to help control shiner numbers. Remember introducing fish into Utah's waters is illegal.
