Mirror Lake

Fishing report

• Rating: Good
• Conditions: Hoop Lake is accessible by vehicle. The lake is still mostly covered with ice, but there is enough open water to fish, and the fishing is good. Stateline Reservoir is not accessible but should open up within a week or so. Whitney Reservoir is not accessible, and it may take a few weeks until conditions improve. Mirror Lake Highway is open to mile marker 22, Murdock Basin Road. Beaver Creek is running faster and higher than last week. The Provo River is higher, faster and dirtier than last week. Vehicles can get to Smith Morehouse Reservoir and there is some open water you can fish. Check the UDOT website for updates on seasonal road closures.
