Hyrum Reservoir

Overview

Hyrum Reservoir is the heart of Hyrum State Park, in the city of Hyrum about seven miles south of Logan on State Route 165. The park opened in 1959 as one of Utah's first state parks. Utah State Parks calls it a year-round fishing destination for bass, trout, perch and bluegill, and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources introduced wipers in 2024. DWR forecasts note that rainbow trout move deeper as the water warms in summer and come shallower as it cools in fall, while largemouth bass and bluegill do the reverse. In fall, yellow perch school in 6 to 30 feet of water, and vertical jigging works once a school is found. Shore anglers fish dough bait or worms off the bottom for trout, and boat anglers troll crankbaits or pop gear. Bass hit spinnerbaits, tube jigs, grubs and crankbaits, and bluegill take worms under a bobber near brush and weeds. The park has one boat ramp, a fish cleaning station at the main entrance, a beach, 32 campsites, two cabins and a group site.

Regulations

General possession limits apply, and dead yellow perch may be used as bait at Hyrum. See the current Utah Fishing Guidebook: https://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/fishing_guidebook.pdf
