Trout limit increased at Otter Creek Reservoir
The daily trout limit at Otter Creek Reservoir has
been raised to eight fish, the Division of Wildlife Resources announced July 20.
Otter Creek Reservoir is about four miles northwest of Antimony, in south-central Utah.
“The water level at the reservoir is dropping so fast that it will probably be drained by the end of July,” said Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR. “Anglers need to get to the reservoir quick to take advantage of this opportunity.”
The eight trout limit will remain in effect through Sept. 30. Beginning Oct. 1, the trout limit will be reduced back to the statewide limit of four trout daily.
