Fillmore Wash Reservoir is a reservoir in Millard County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 12.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.3 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; keep the first pass close to structure, then change lure speed before moving.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; start with the cover closest to deep water, then fish the same shape nearby.

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; pause the bait on each small drop, then look for a second bite before leaving.

How to Read the Water

Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; test the clearest edge, then match lure size to the fish.

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; begin beside green weeds, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.

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; match lure size to the visible food, then keep the bait near useful cover.

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; fish the first useful drop, then use the old channel as a guide.
