KOLOB: Recent sampling found that rainbows and cutthroat are abundant and healthy. A few large fish over 3 pounds are present. Try flashy lures, streamers or nymphs.

MINERSVILLE: Fishing is slow and pressure has dropped off. Water clarity has improved. Irrigation releases have begun, so the water level has started to drop.

NEWCASTLE: Catchable-sized rainbows have been stocked. Sampling in April found that 3- to 4-pound wipers are abundant and spread out through various depths. Try trolling minnow-imitating lures for wipers.

OTTER CREEK: Fishing has picked up from the boats, both trolling and bait fishing.

PANGUITCH LAKE: Fishing from shore varies from slow to very good, depending on technique and weather. Worm and marshmallow combo is the best bait for rainbows. Cutthroats are being caught on lures. Fly anglers have done well fishing against the shoreline in the wind with olive Wooly Buggers and nymphs drifted below a strike indicator.

SAND HOLLOW: Bass fishing is good to excellent. Small fish are found just about everywhere, while large fish are found closer to brush, rock edges or in deeper water. Dark-colored senkos are a popular bait.
