What is the water temperature at Strawberry Reservoir?

No gauge on Strawberry Reservoir measures it, so this is an estimate: roughly 58.3°F, worked out from the 7-day mean of air temperature at NOAA weather station KHCR (Heber Valley Airport). Checked against the lakes that do have a thermometer, that method lands within about 4.5°F of the real reading and was off by 8.3°F at worst. Treat it as a ballpark, not a measurement — and note the bite index above ignores it entirely, because an error that size would move the verdict as often as it would fix it.

What is the water level at Strawberry Reservoir right now?

Holding steady. The lake is unchanged 0.00 ft in 24 hours and up 0.02 ft over the week. Over the last 8 days it has held between 7585.91 and 7586 ft. Every figure here is a difference between two gauge readings, not a forecast — what the level does next depends on rain and on what the dam releases.

Can you eat the fish you catch in Strawberry Reservoir?

That is a health question, and it is answered officially rather than by us. Utah Department of Environmental Quality publishes the fish consumption advisory covering these waters, where organised by contaminant and applying to named species and waters, with most Utah waters carrying no advisory at all. Read it before you keep a meal — we give no eating advice.

What size fish can you keep in Utah?

It depends on the species, and several have slot limits rather than a simple minimum. Open to harvest today: trout, kokanee salmon and arctic grayling (a combined total), largemouth and smallmouth bass, black and white crappie (a combined total), channel catfish. Seasons here change mid-year by agency order, so the status is re-checked every morning.
