Annabella Reservoir is a reservoir in Sevier County, Utah and covers about 26.2 acres, reaches about 9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 193 acre-feet.
Annabella Reservoir is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns. With little deep water in Annabella Reservoir, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Annabella Reservoir include Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; let two bites set the useful depth.
Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; test a shaded bank, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
Season by Season
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; give shaded water a separate pass.
A Simple Tackle Plan
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; give shaded water a separate pass.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; repeat the first clean pattern.
