Gigliotti Pond - Helper, UT

Gigliotti Pond in Helper is a charming 4‑acre community fishery stocked with rainbow trout each spring and fall by DWR. It’s a laid‑back spot ideal for families and beginning anglers, offering easy success with bait, spinner rigs, and small lures.

Trout average 8–12 inches, and fish respond well to PowerBait, salmon eggs, nightcrawlers, or small spoons. It’s just as easy to float a bobber setup as it is to trout fish micro‑tackle—either approach works well here.

Set within a city park next to the playground, the pond features shaded benches, paved paths, and wheelchair‑accessible docks. Restrooms are close, and boating isn’t allowed—keeping fishing stress to a minimum.

Though visits pick up on sunny weekends, bites often fire off early and late in the day during spring and fall. Evenings in summer can be productive under cloudy skies. Water clarity can vary with runoff, so amateur anglers should pick calm days for best results.

Simple trout limits and no special gear restrictions make this an ideal venue for teaching kids and learning fly or spin basics. If you’re in Helper and looking for a relaxed, accessible shoreline fishery, Gigliotti Pond is a top choice.
