Nine Mile Reservoir
Fishing Guide
⚠ DWR Advisory
Emergency changes - Nine Mile Reservoir (Sanpete County): Because of drought-related water losses, we're increasing the daily limit at Nine Mile Reservoir to 16 trout. This change went into effect on May 11, 2026 and will remain in effect until Oct. 1, 2026. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is concerned that fish will not survive the summer, so we are proactively increasing the limit to: Reduce trout densities and improve survival of any remaining fish. Encourage anglers to make use of fish that would otherwise perish. All other rules established in the 2026 Utah Fishing Guidebook remain in effect. (May 11, 2026)
