I heard rumors about this little reservoir that is right outside St. George and we were in the area for the weekend so we decided to go check it out. We arrived about an hour before dark and it was beautiful with the sunset in full glory.
We all tied on some topwater baits and went to work. There is a weed line that covers most of the
little reservoir and everything between the weed line and shoreline that had access
by foot seemed to be less than 1 foot deep.
This made fishing difficult and so I took a walk around the reservoir to
see if there were any areas that I might have better access.
On the other side of the reservoir I found a little canal
that entered the reservoir and decided to make a cast. As soon as my lure hit the water, I had a
fish on. The first largemouth of the
night. I called my boys and told them to
come over. I made two more casts which
produced two more bites but didn’t land them.
Once the boys arrived I showed them where I was getting bit, but they
had a bad angle and ended up getting snagged and never could hit the
target. I started casting again but
never got another bite. The boys went
back to fishing the reservoir and I made the journey back around the lake. I received a phone call from Devin a few minutes
later and he had landed this little largemouth on topwater. Success!
We fished until dark but only landed the two fish. I would love to revisit this little reservoir
in my float tube where I could get beyond the weed line. The lake looked promising and could be
holding some nice bass. Next time…
