Utah’s premier trout fishery, a 17,000-acre reservoir at 7,600 ft in the Uinta foothills an hour from Provo.

4 trout or kokanee a day; cutthroat from 15 to 22" must be released, with no more than 2 under 15" and 1 over 22". No kokanee may be kept Sep 10–Nov 30, and fish may not be filleted in the field.

Strawberry Reservoir is listed on this site for 3 commonly-targeted species: Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Kokanee Salmon. Which species is currently in season and which is scoring highest today is shown in the per-species ranking on this page.
It depends more on the species and the day's conditions than on a fixed "best hour." Water temperature, weather, and — at tidal locations — the stage of the tide drive activity most. The per-species ranking on this page scores every target species at Strawberry Reservoir against today's live conditions, so the fish near the top are your best bets right now; check back as conditions change through the day.
Strawberry Reservoir has multiple access types — pier, shoreline, and at least one public boat ramp. 4 trout or kokanee a day; cutthroat from 15 to 22" must be released, with no more than 2 under 15" and 1 over 22". No kokanee may be kept Sep 10–Nov 30, and fish may not be filleted in the field.

No. Strawberry Reservoir is non-tidal — water level varies with rainfall, seasonal flow, and (where applicable) upstream dam releases rather than tidal exchange.
