ABAJO MOUNTAINS
Conservation Officer Dennis Shumway reports that worms and PowerBait have been the ticket at Blanding #3 and #4 reservoirs. The pike in Recapture Reservoir are hitting very well. Anglers from across the state have been fishing here for a chance at a good pike. The water at Lloyds Lake is really low, but the fishing is good. It was stocked a few weeks ago and the stocked rainbows have been easy to catch. Foy Reservoir and Monticello Lake are full and both offer good fishing.
