• Where to Fish on Rex Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Fish documented in Sevier County include yellow perch, sockeye salmon and Utah sucker. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Take Rex Reservoir a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 65°F and January reads 24°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Look for the thaw near late March; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate figures give an open season running late March to early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That is the shape of the year on Rex Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Gates Lake is 5 miles distant. Signs at Rex Reservoir carry more weight than any list.
