There is some ice forming along shore. There were reports of good fishing for rainbows up to 18 inches in October. The reservoir has recently been stocked with 10-inch fish. The lake level is low. The lake is now ice-covered, with ice up to 8 inches thick near shore.
First reports are of good fishing for rainbows using worms or powerbait.
Recent netting has shown a good number of trout in the lake up to 3 pounds, but chubs are abundant too. The road through Cedar Breaks is now closed, so access is through Parowan Canyon or via the town of Panguitch on the east side. Ice conditions unknown, but there should be some solid ice by now. Access was still possible prior to storms this past week. No ice at that time.
