Otter Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Piute County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Otter Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Piute County, Utah and covers about 2,519.4 acres, reaches about 37 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 52,660 acre-feet.
The size of Otter Creek Reservoir rewards a simple area-by-area plan instead of long random moves.
Otter Creek is a broad, fairly shallow high-desert reservoir where wind, weeds, creek water, and the old channel matter more than extreme depth.
Rainbow trout use cool water and windblown food, crappie and bluegill use cover, and stocked wiper or smallmouth require separate open-water and rocky passes.
At about 37 feet deep, the lake can warm and mix more quickly than Utah’s deep canyon reservoirs. A small temperature or color change can move trout without sending them to a huge drop.
Brown, cutthroat, tiger trout, smallmouth bass, and wiper appear in stocking history. Name them as released fish, not guaranteed current populations.
A practical route checks the creek influence, one clean wind edge, and the nearest channel turn. If the water muddies, shorten the cast and add vibration instead of abandoning the whole area.
The key difference is that otter Creek is a broad, fairly shallow high-desert reservoir where wind, weeds, creek water, and the old channel matter more than extreme depth.
For a first trip, rainbow trout use cool water and windblown food, crappie and bluegill use cover, and stocked wiper or smallmouth require separate open-water and rocky passes.
Do not let the largest depth or an old stocking note replace current water conditions, food, and the confirmed fish list; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
