Deer Creek Reservoir
My son Mike and I, and Mike Rowbury went on another fishing trip last Saturday, this time to Deer Creek Reservoir, just at the top of Provo Canyon with Heber on the other side. A month ago, we were totally skunked at Strawberry which was high and had lots of debris in the water from the Spring runoff. Mike R. said that Deer Creek was a bit unpredictable, but we decided to give it a try and caught fish from the get-go until all had their limits by 10 a.m. Deer Creek is much closer than Strawberry, and with Timpanogos in the background, quite a bit more scenic, and with the fish included, we were very happy with the trip. A cool, rainy June resulted in more snow that we usually see on Timp this time of the year, but the hot weather of the past week is probably melting it fast.
