Hobbs Reservoir Fishing near South Weber, Utah

• Overview

  Hobbs Reservoir sits in Davis County, out in Utah. The bank is 4,747 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 22 acres — small enough to read in one session. It lies lower than most water we list in Utah. For supplies, South Weber is 2.2 miles out. After that come Uintah at 2.9 miles and Hill Air Force Base at 3.1 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Hobbs Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Fish documented in Davis County include bluegill, green sunfish, black crappie and brown trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Hobbs Reservoir the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 27°F and July at about 75°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on Hobbs Reservoir follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It is tagged for fishing in public mapping. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Holmes Reservoir at 2.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Hobbs Reservoir locally before you travel.
