Reef Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Utah.
No reliable acreage is listed for Reef Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then add vibration in stained water.
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; check a rocky edge, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; try the strongest cover, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then check both sides of the point.
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; fish where rock meets mud, 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; start near the best mix of cover, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
