Quail Creek Reservoir - Hurricane, UT

Lake Information
Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, Green Sunfish, Black Bullhead |
Quail Creek Reservoir in Hurricane, UT, offers excellent year-round fishing for largemouth bass, rainbow trout, bluegill, and crappie. This 600-acre reservoir sits at 3,300 feet and supports both warm- and coldwater species, though it is especially prized for trophy-class bass.
Largemouth bass are the main attraction. Anglers use plastics, jigs, and crankbaits near submerged structure and weed beds, especially in spring and early summer. Fish over 5 pounds are caught each season. Trout are stocked during the cool months and respond well to bait, spoons, and flies. Summer trout fishing declines as water temperatures rise.
Bluegill and crappie provide additional action, particularly near brush and rock piles. Crappie fishing peaks in spring, while bluegill remain active into summer.
Boating is easy with a concrete ramp and developed facilities at Quail Creek State Park. Kayaks and float tubes also work well. The park includes campgrounds, day-use areas, and restrooms.
Regulations follow Utah’s general rules—six bass may be kept, with only one over 12 inches. Water clarity is good but can vary in summer due to algae.
Quail Creek is a reliable, scenic, and multi-species fishery ideal for anglers of all levels.
