Kolob Reservoir is closed to bait fishing until May. Winter access is not maintained, so ice fishing pressure is light. If you can get there on a snowmobile or ATV, you can often find good to excellent fishing with jigs. Recreation use at Kolob Reservoir is administered by the Washington County Water Conservancy District. Dramatic increases in visitors during recent years has prompted the district to employ new regulations to allow them to properly maintain the surrounding land and mitigate abuse. Camping fees are required, and boats are limited to 10-horsepower motors. Please respect these regulations so that recreational access can be maintained at Kolob Reservoir. Regulation reminder: Limit 2 trout (must be under 15 inches or over 22 inches). All trout from 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released. Artificial flies and lures only from Jan. 1 through 6 a.m. on the third Saturday in May, and from the second Saturday in September through Dec. 31.
