Fishing Tips & Stocking Guide for Redmond Lake

Practical advice on fish behavior, recommended tackle, and state regulations for anglers fishing in SEVIER County, Utah.

Post-Plant Behavior & Timing

Hatchery-raised fish are conditioned to pelleted feed and open raceways. Following a release into Redmond Lake, they typically congregate in schools near public access points, boat ramps, or inlets for the first 24 to 48 hours while adjusting to natural water conditions.

Since Redmond Lake was last stocked September 16, 2025, anglers visiting within 1 to 2 weeks of a reported event generally experience the highest activity before fish disperse into deeper cover.

Recommended Tackle & Presentations

Techniques tailored to the species stocked in Redmond Lake:

Catfish Rigging

Fish a Carolina slip-sinker bottom rig with a 1/2 to 1 oz egg sinker, swivel, and 1/0–3/0 circle hook. Baits such as chicken liver, cut baitfish (shad), nightcrawlers, and stink baits produce best during early morning, dusk, or night in deeper holes.

Bass & Panfish Approach

Target visible structure such as docks, weed lines, and fallen trees. Small 1/32 to 1/16 oz jig heads with soft plastic grubs or live worms under a float work well for crappie and bluegill; soft plastic worms or spinnerbaits work well for bass.

Wiper Profile Tips

Known for hard, sustained runs; often caught by casting or trolling near baitfish schools, sometimes visible as surface-feeding 'boils.'

White Crappie Profile Tips

Taken the same way as black crappie — small jigs and minnows fished around brush, docks, and other structure.

Recommended Tackle for Redmond Lake
