Pine Valley Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Washington 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.
Pine Valley Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Utah and covers about 5 acres, reaches about 25.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 50 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check the clearest edge before moving, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
Fish listed for Pine Valley Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.
At Pine Valley Reservoir, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
At Pine Valley Reservoir, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
At Pine Valley Reservoir, try this for channel catfish: fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
At Pine Valley Reservoir, try this for rainbow trout: cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Brown Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
Tiger 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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
At Pine Valley Reservoir, 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.
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 a quiet shoreline, then follow bait before changing areas.
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; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then compare shallow and deeper water.
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; cast across the break instead of along it, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
Use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets; keep the first pass close to structure, then use a moving lure to search.
Treat 25.5 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
It confirms that tiger trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch; change lure speed before moving.
