Little Montes Creek Reservoir Habitat Project

Here's some info about a revitalized Largemouth Bass fishery in the Uintah Basin. Little Montes Creek Reservoir was drained last year for repairs to the outlet structure and dam. The Northeastern Region of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources decided that this would be the perfect time to add some habitat to the reservoir. The pictures show some of the more than 60 habitat structures that were built by volunteers. They were installed this winter while the reservoir was dry. Once the lake fills, bass and bluegill from Steinaker Reservoir will be transferred by the DWR to re-populate the reservoir. This habitat project is geared specifically toward bass and bluegill. Similar habitat projects are scheduled for Redfleet and Starvation.
