Fish species in Hell Hole Reservoir

Hell Hole Reservoir is a reservoir in Piute County, Utah and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 9.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 3 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; fish one point at two depths, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite. With little deep water in Hell Hole Reservoir, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Hell Hole Reservoir include Rainbow Trout.

The first rainbow trout pass on Hell Hole Reservoir should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the Water

Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; test the clearest edge, then try natural colors in clear water.

Season by Season

Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; work the best shade during bright hours, then keep the first route short.

A Simple Tackle Plan

A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; check the clean side of wind, then keep the first route short.

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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
