The stocked ponds near Layton, and when the trucks come.

Jensen Nature Park's pond in Syracuse shows up in the stocking report under Davis County too, even though it isn't on the list page.

What went in this year

The DWR publishes every stocking as it happens, by water and by county. For 2026, Adams Reservoir in Layton shows rainbow trout of about nine and a half inches on March 24 (835 fish), April 3 (1,077), April 13 (594), April 23 (2,087), May 6 (2,095) and May 20 (1,670), and 400 small walleye on July 14. Jensen Nature Park Pond shows brown and rainbow trout between January 13 and June 1.

That's the pattern for the trout: cool months, a truck every couple of weeks in spring, and then the water warms and the trout entries stop. A local news piece from a few years ago describes catfish from an out-of-state hatchery going into community waters through the summer; we didn't find 2026 catfish entries for these ponds in the report, so check it rather than take our word.

How to read the report

Go to the DWR's fish stocking report and sort by county or by water. Each row is a date, a species, a count and an average length. The most useful habit is to look the evening before you go: a pond stocked that day fishes very differently from one stocked three weeks ago. The DWR's Fish Utah planner carries the rules for each community water as the Wildlife Board approved them; the bag limit for each community water is on that page, so read it before you keep fish.

Going with kids

These ponds are the easy version of fishing: a paved lot, a path to the bank, no waders, and fish that were put there to be caught. Bring worms or dough bait for the trout, a small hook, and low expectations for the first half hour. The kids will remember the day either way.
