Open biodiversity records for Washington County list desert sucker, flannelmouth sucker, rainbow trout, bluegill and green sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific.

  Temperature averages peak at 85°F in July and bottom out at 40°F in January. There is no frozen season to plan round.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. None of that is settled for Stucki Debris Basin Reservoir in what we hold.
