Monday, Mar 20 2023
Water levels at Big Sand Wash are 95% capacity. Ice is 20-25 inches thick with 3-8 inches of snow on top, making walking on it challenging. Edges of the ice were good as of March 8, with just a small hop-across to solid ice on the main ramp. Fishing was fair for walleye and yellow perch. We recommend targeting them in 40-50 feet of water. Remember, if you are targeting fish that deep, they will likely have barotrauma when they reach the surface and will not be able to swim back down. Find any kind of rocky ledge or bottom structure and you will find more fish.Updated fishing regulations at this waterbody for both walleye and yellow perch went into effect January 1, 2023. Please review the 2023 Utah Fishing Guidebook (look under Big Sand Wash Reservoir) for these updated regulation changes. The wedge dock will be placed back in the water next spring. Fishery managers have been revising the Big Sand Wash Reservoir fishery management plan this past winter; more details to come soon. (March 09, 2023)
