Little Valley Reservoir
Flows into the Hammond Creek
Little Valley Reservoir in Bear Lake County is 33.6 acres.
This small reservoir is privately owned, and water is managed by the local irrigation company. In drought years with poor winter snowpack, the water levels can be very low by the end of the summer and fishing can deteriorate. It takes one good winter to fill this reservoir and if the pool stage stays above 50% for two years, hatchery rainbow trout can grow to near 20 inches. There are few amenities at this remote reservoir so please plan accordingly and respect private property so access is maintained into the future.
Directions
Take Sleight Canyon Road west out of the city of Paris, Idaho.
Recommended Game Fish
- Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
