Fished Grantsville Reservoir today with some friends from work. I caught a nice male brown and a couple small fatty rainbows. First time fishing there for me. Pretty slow day only fished 31/2 hours. Enclosed is a picture of the nice brown
I love G-ville res! How much ice was there?
What were you using? And were you on the North or the South side?
Hello Ratstar, the ice is about 5 to six inches thick a little soft on the edges.
Hello thparkie, I fished all over, the fish that I caught were on the south side. I caught the fish using small ice flys tipped with a wax worm. I hope this helps. Good luck.
Thanks man.
Thanks for the post magnaman. Did you fish the south side exclusively or did you try the middle, north, etc. Also was it pretty much the same all around as far as the ice, 5-6" everywhere? How far where the edges soft? Sorry for all the ?'s. Thanks again for all the info.
Thanks.
Me and Ratstar will have to hit G-Ville Soon then.
Just got back. I went out for a loner trip sorry man! We still need to hit it though!
Did you have any luck out there then?
I bought kentofnsl’s vexilar, so we can use that up there, and hopefully slay a bunch of slimers ![]()
4 Browns 2 bows. All the fish I caught are looking really fat still.
I’d like to use that finder you got and see more about it. but I’m afraid i’ll have to buy one after that!

Ken, be sure to take good care of it, because if my Showdown doesn’t work well (it arrived yesterday
) I will be begging to buy it back from you.[;)]
Not to worry Kent. I will treat it as if it were my own-----Wait a minute it is my own now![;)]
I hope the Showdown doesn’t disappoint you. Cuz I really like the Vex.![]()
Never been there but been toying with the thought of trying it. Are there chubs in there?? Is so, lots, size?
I need bait, lol.. ![]()
If you want chubs Settlement Canyon is supposedly the place to go. Everyone I know that fishes there catches chub. I havent caught any from there yet though.
I’m not sure if G-ville has any chub or not. I pulled all my bait from G-ville res in the fall, carp minnows!
If you end up wanting to try it out get ahold of me or thparkie and we’d be glad to show you around a bit.
Thanks. Like I say, I’m toying with the thought but its a week or two out.
Settlerment Canyon is the place for little chubs about 5-8 inches long,
Go about 25-50 feet away from the Island and drop a really small hook # 10 or 12 with a crawler or waxie. Just a tiny piece of bait to barely cover the hook . You should get all the chubs you want in an hour or so. They are more active in the afternoon/evening. You can also catch a few small 10-14 inch trout out there too.
G-ville doesn’t have the chubs, but they do have nice sized browns, and some fat rainbows.
Thanks for the input.. I have no clue where Settlerment Cayon is but perhaps in the future you fellers can stir an ol’ guy in the right direction..
Thanks again
It is about 1/2 mile just south of Tooele City , [turn left on Canyon Road if you are heading south ] and about another mile up the canyon.
