Willis Reservoir is a reservoir in Piute County, Utah.
The recorded size of Willis Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then look for a second bite before leaving.
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; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
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; follow a short creek arm, then work each small drop before going deeper.
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; use a slow bait after the search lure, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
