There are fears the body, believed to be male, could have died in the water up to eight weeks ago.
They have appealed for anyone who may have found clothes of belongings near the reservoir which could help in tracing him.
The man could have been a holidaymaker visiting the area which is popular with day-trippers including walkers, cyclists and bird-spotters.
A Dyfed Powys Police statement said: “We’re appealing for information to help identify the body of a person who was found in the Claerwen Reservoir on Friday, October 18.
“Officers attended the reservoir after receiving a call from a member of the public who had seen a body in the water at just before 8.30am.
“The deceased was wearing a wetsuit and is believed to be male.
“Enquiries carried out so far – including checking missing people records with neighbouring forces – have not led to the deceased being identified.
“While we do not have many details to share at this point, we are appealing for anyone who does have information – who thinks that something mentioned could relate to a missing person in their own life/or who they may know – to come forward.
“If you have visited the Claerwen Reservoir or the surrounding area within the last six to eight weeks and noticed any unattended personal property such as bags, clothes, shoes, or anything else that stood out, please get in touch.
“We’d like to hear from you whether you saw something that caught your attention and left it there, or you removed it from the area.”
