Overview
Strawberry Reservoir is a large high-country reservoir on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Wasatch County, set in rolling sagebrush hills. Anglers fish for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon, and the Forest Service's Strawberry Bay Campground sits beside the reservoir. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stocks large predatory fish here to keep nuisance baitfish in check, and Strawberry has a cutthroat slot: mid-size cutthroat must be released right away. Trout and salmon may not be filleted, or have heads or tails removed, in the field or in transit. Many tributaries have their own closures.
Regulations
Strawberry has special trout, cutthroat and kokanee rules, and kokanee have a statewide fall closure. Read the Strawberry entry in the current Utah Fishing Guidebook: https://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/fishing_guidebook.pdf

Gear for the fish stocked here
Rainbow Trout
Rod: Light or ultralight spinning rod, about 4.5 to 8.5 feet; 5 to 6.5 feet suits stocked ponds.
Line: 4 to 10 lb monofilament, with 6 to 8 lb a good middle. Go lighter in clear water.
Baits: worms or cut nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, kernel corn
Lures: small inline spinners, small spoons, curly tail jigs and grubs
Cutthroat Trout
Rod: Light spinning rod in the usual stream trout range, about 4.5 to 8.5 feet.
Line: 4 to 8 lb monofilament main line.
Baits: worms or other bait drifted along the bottom, where bait is legal
Lures: 1/8 to 1/4 oz spoons, size 2 to 3 spinners, minnow imitations for bigger fish
Kokanee
Rod: Ultralight, limber trolling rod, often 7 to 8 feet. A soft rod helps keep fish on.
