Willies Flat Reservoir is a reservoir in Sevier County, Utah and covers about 5.7 acres, reaches about 16.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 39.3 acre-feet.

Willies Flat Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; work the best shade during bright hours, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.

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; fish the first useful drop, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.

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; begin beside green weeds, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.

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; start beside deeper water, then use the old channel as a guide.

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; fish where rock meets mud, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.

At Willies Flat Reservoir, 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.
