Quail Creek Reservoir, located in Washington County, Utah, offers anglers a scenic desert fishery with a reputation for producing quality catches, especially among bass and trout enthusiasts.
Weekly Catches
No verified catches in the last 7 or 15 days; the catches below cover the last 21 days.
Largemouth Bass
While specific recent catch details are unavailable, Quail Creek Reservoir is known for its healthy largemouth bass population. Anglers typically target these fish along rocky points, submerged structure, and near the dam. Effective techniques include soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits, especially during low-light periods.
Rainbow Trout
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources recently stocked 10,480 rainbow trout in Quail Creek Reservoir, indicating a strong potential for trout action. Stocked trout often congregate near inlets, coves, and the dam area shortly after stocking. PowerBait, small spinners, and flies are reliable choices for these freshly stocked fish.
Other Species
No recent evidence of catches for other species such as bluegill, crappie, or catfish at Quail Creek during this period. However, the reservoir’s diverse habitat suggests these species may also be present and active, particularly in shallower, vegetated areas.
Weather & Marine Conditions
Recent conditions at Quail Creek Reservoir have been sunny, with stable weather patterns favorable for fishing. Water temperatures are not specified in the retrieved evidence, but sunny skies typically lead to moderate surface temperatures, encouraging both bass and trout activity, especially during morning and evening hours.
Tides & Solunar Activity
No specific tide or solunar data for Quail Creek Reservoir was found in the retrieved evidence. As an inland desert reservoir, tidal influence is absent, and anglers should focus on daily weather patterns and seasonal fish behavior.
Fishing Conditions & Tips
Quail Creek is currently well-stocked with rainbow trout, making it a prime destination for trout anglers. Bass fishing remains consistent, with structure-oriented tactics yielding the best results. Early mornings and late afternoons are typically the most productive times to fish, especially during stable weather. Anglers should monitor the reservoir’s water levels, as fluctuations can affect fish location and behavior.
Regulations & Notices
Anglers at Quail Creek Reservoir should be aware of mercury advisories for largemouth bass, which have a mercury level of 0.638 ppm. The advisory recommends that pregnant women and children should not consume any bass from this waterbody. For the general population, the advisory suggests limiting consumption to one 8-ounce meal per month, and for adult women beyond childbearing age and adult men, up to five 8-ounce meals per month. Always check the latest Utah fishing regulations for daily limits and special rules before fishing.

About Our Fishing Forecasts
This forecast is generated by our proprietary Fishing Score algorithm (0-100%), which analyzes real-time data from Open-Meteo API, validated against NOAA CO-OPS tide gauges and USGS water monitoring stations. The model weighs tide dynamics (35%), wave energy (25%), wind patterns (20%), and time of day (20%)—factors proven to influence fish feeding behavior through marine biology research and decades of charter log data.
Our species guides combine bibliographic research from ichthyology and oceanography with expert angler experience to provide actionable fishing intelligence. Forecasts update every 6 hours for real-time accuracy.
⚠️ Important: Always verify local regulations before fishing. Conditions may vary—use this as a planning guide, not a guarantee.
