=Fishing forecast (December through April): Calder Reservoir was stocked with catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring, which have grown quickly due to increased habitat and forage. Angler reports in the fall indicated fair fishing for trout ranging from 14-16 inches. Road access is limited by snowstorms and drifting in the winter. Access via over-the-snow machines is typical from December through March. As of Dec. 7, the reservoir is iced over with about 5 inches of ice. Early ice is frequently the most productive with success declining over winter. Ice can be 2 feet thick by late winter, but be aware of aerators that keep some areas open all winter. Dissolved oxygen levels usually become low at the bottom so fish may be just under the ice by late winter. Classic ice fishing lures work, including unscented tube jigs, spoons and ice flies. Remember: Bait is not allowed. A fish finder will benefit anglers in locating fish and anticipating strikes as fish can be at all depths during the cold winter period. Watching how fish react to a lure can help decide whether to jig or let the lure deadstick. Fish can be finicky at times under the ice so try switching lures and jigging techniques if fish appear on the graph but wont hit. Also, remember the reservoir has special catch-and-release size regulations. See the current Utah Fishing Guidebook for details. (Dec. 11, 2023)
