Latest fishing report
To allow replacement of the Ogden City pipeline, Pineview's water is being lowered, which has left most of its usual shallow habitat out of the water. DWR expects fish to be pushed into a smaller part of the reservoir and tells anglers to concentrate on the deeper water that remains: the old channel, points, steep banks and what little submerged hard structure is left. The riprap and big boulders at the Narrows should be a standout for smallmouth bass, and largemouth may be there too. Crappie will probably stay in the deeper water and may gather in big schools around the old river channel, in holes and along sharp breaks, while perch may bunch up along the bottom of the remaining basin and the edges of the channel.
No conventional boat ramp reaches the water, so boats on trailers cannot launch, though personal watercraft that need no ramp can still be used wherever there is access. Fresh shoreline can be soft, muddy or steep, so take care. Through Dec. 31, 2026, DWR emergency rules take the place of the usual limits at Pineview: the daily bag is 12 bass (largemouth and smallmouth combined) plus one tiger muskie longer than 40 inches, and other species have no limit.
