There is a variety of summer and winter fishing opportunities around Marysvale, Big Rock Candy Mountain, and the Paiute ATV Trail area of Utah. There is excellent ice fishing in the winter at Piute Reservoir, Otter Creek Reservoir, and Fish Lake. There are many fishing opportunities for fair weather anglers in streams, rivers and lakes.
There are some native-born rainbow and brown trout that can usually be caught in Pine Creek that flows through the Bullion Creekside Retreat. These trout are usually between 6 up to 12 inches. Further up the creek are some excellent holes that have native cutthroat and rainbows. Beaver Creek, Deer Creek, Cottonwood Creek, Manning Creek and the Sevier river all have fishable stretches that hold trout. The Paiute and Otter Creek Reservoirs both usually have excellent fishing from shore or boat. If one ventures out a little further there is more fishing including many lakes and streams. Some of the locations are best fished with common trout baits such as worms, salmon eggs, or powerbait. Other areas are best fished by casting lures. Some of the rivers are suitable for casting small lures. Bring your gear with you when you come to the retreat and we can advise you in more detail where to fish and what technique to use according to your skill level. Following is a list of the angling places that I know of and would recommend:
Antimony Creek, Garfield County. This clear, cold stream is located southeast of Otter Creek Reservoir and Antimony. It’s lower stretch is populated with Brown Trout and wild Rainbows. There are some pools and stretches that are ideal for fly-fishing.
Beaver Creek, Piute County. This small stream flows off the east side of the Tushar mountains and is accessible of the Beaver Creek Road east of Marysvale. It contains rainbow and a few cutthroats.
Beaver River, Beaver County. This larger stream is located east of the City of Beaver. It contains Rainbow, Brown, Cutthroat, and Brook trout. Fishable tributaries include South Fork, Lake Stream and Merchant Creek.

Winter ice-fishing fishing is great here. The lake is very picturesque located at about 9000 feet with surrounding mountains and forests.
