3-29-13 – The fishing has been fantastic… We have heard of triple digit catches in groups of 2 or 3 guys.  Get out there while it is good!

The Ice on Minersville is starting to come off the edges and anglers have started to do well.

A couple of guys – Danny Beard and Kasey Willden had some early luck with fishing along the edges. Fishing with Nymphs, Wooly Buggers and Marabou Jigs.

Ice is going to recede quickly with the warm weather and we expect to see good early numbers.

Good Luck!

June 8, 2013 – All lakes are now open.  The top lakes are Kents Lake and Puffer.  Minersville is average for flies/shore and pretty good from boat.

September 8, 2012 – Fishing has been pretty good throughout the year.  Minersville Reservoir, Kent’s Lake, Anderson Meadow and Lebaron seem to be the top lakes.

Fishing the Beaver river has been mediocre because of muddy water from Rain and low amounts of natural runoff.  We had a low amount of snow last year and it is hurting the mountain as the summer nears the end.

Merchant Valley is closed for repairs to a pipe under the reservoir.  It is currently drained.

Three Creeks reservoir has also been drained.

Little  Reservoir has been a little slow because of moss taking over the lake. Bait fishing isn’t too bad, but I would recommend continuing up to one of the upper lakes.

For a little Variety, stop by Upper Kent’s and try out fishing for the Cutthroat Trout.  Fishing has been good and the

May 22, 2012 – Fishing has slowed down a little after the crazy March and April.  Flies and lures are still working and fishing from a boat has still been good, but we haven’t heard any stores of 50+ fish for a while.

April 1, 2012 – Fishing has been fantastic.  We have heard stories of individuals catching 70+ fish in a day.  A few of those 23+ inch keepers.  The pictures have been great to see.  We will try to get some of them online for you.  Fly Fisherman seem to be doing the best.  Either with a fly pole or standard pole using a bobber.  Lures are also seeing success, but not quite as much.

February 29, 2012 – Minersville Reservoir has been having some recent success from boat as the North end of the lake is clear from ice.  We have had a couple sets of individuals come in that showed us photo’s of multiple 18+ fish.

Usually when the ice first clears, the fish are pretty excited to get some food.  Gold and White Jake’s Spin a Lure seem to be doing well behind the boat and Daredevils in the same colors.

Remember – Minersville Reservoir is a Trophy Lake.  There is more information on the Rules and Regulations if you visit the Division of Wildlife Resources website or in the Utah fishing proclomation.

February, 4 2012:  Kent’s lake has been accessible accept for a couple of weeks after the most recent snow storm (Late January 2012)

With the ability to drive up to the lake we have seen some great response from individuals ice fishing.  We have heard of multiple 2-3 pound Tiger Trout being caught and some nice rainbows.

Small Jigs, Meal worms and nightcrawlers seem to be the choice of fisherman visiting our store.  Green/Chartreuse and orange are doing very well for jigs.

Ice conditions have been a little poor with the extremely Warm weather.  For those that have been up to Kent’s lake the last couple of weeks, have been doing really good.  Minersville reservoir west of Beaver has been off and on with the amount of ice and conditions change constantly.  Give us a call for details about current lake conditions.

Panguitch and Fishlake have both been spotty, but reports of some big fish and good conditions have been reported. 

The 2011 Fishing season is coming to an end.   Fishing has been really good at Kent’s Lake and the Beaver River.  Fish are really biting at the end of the season.

We have added a section with detailed fishing reports on the lakes in Southern Utah around Beaver – Southern Utah Fishing Report.

Once you get to Beaver, stop in and we will be able to give you the most update reports on fishing in the area.

It is an exciting time.  Little Reservoir’s ice has now melted and it is open for fishing!  Early reports are that big fish have been seen and a few decent sized Browns (14-18″) have been caught.  In the spring, this lake is known for big browns that are hungry from the winter.  Fish have been caught in the past that are over 20 Pounds.

This lake is a small lake with beautiful scenery and it has been a personal favorite for locals for generations.
