: BAKER RESERVOIR: Fishing forecast (March through May): Ten-inch rainbow trout are stocked in Baker Reservoir in the fall and provide good fishing through the colder months and into the following spring. Most anglers fish with popular baits, but flies and lures also work very well. Fishing will begin to slow down in late spring as temperatures rise and the reservoir is drawn down for irrigation use. Although Baker Reservoir sometimes produces large brown trout, the draining of the reservoir in fall 2020 likely washed any of these fish downstream and it may take a while for more browns to come in from the Santa Clara River.

Baker Reservoir located on the lower slope of
Pine Valley Mountains, surrounded by private, BLM, and Dixie National

afternoon or weekend getaway. For those so inclined, hiking up the back roads
from the reservoir will provide a splendid variety of flora and fauna typical of
this area. Many beautiful flowers in mid-to late spring.
