Otter Creek Reservoir

Overview

Otter Creek Reservoir is a productive southern Utah reservoir with a strong reputation for trout fishing. Its open layout and fertile water make it one of the more reliable fisheries in the region when conditions line up.

Fishing Overview

Otter Creek Reservoir is widely regarded for its trout fishing, especially during spring and fall. The fertile water supports fast-growing fish, and anglers often find success trolling or working structure with steady, controlled presentations. Wind can play a role, but fish are generally well-distributed across the reservoir.

Access and Amenities

Otter Creek Reservoir has established access points, including boat ramps and areas suitable for shore fishing. The surrounding area is open and exposed, so sun and wind are common factors. Nearby towns provide limited but useful services.

Fees: Day-use or parking fees may apply at some federally managed access areas.

Regulations and Notes

Otter Creek Reservoir is managed with species-specific limits, particularly for trout. Seasonal regulations and boating considerations can apply, so checking current rules before fishing is recommended.
