Located in the Dixie National Forest of southwestern Utah, visitors of this beautiful state won’t want to miss Panguitch Lake, along the Brian Head-Panguitch Lake Scenic Byway. Panguitch Lake (rhymes with sandwich) is a natural body of water, augmented by a dam, resulting in a reservoir. Flanked by aspens, spruce, and ponderosa pines, the lake is estimated to be 1,000 years old. With a very high elevation of 8,200 feet, Panguitch Lake is a popular recreational area offering year-round activities and has now been rated the 9th best trout fishing lake in the country. Panguitch Lake is fed by three tributary streams, Ipson Creek, Clear Creek and Blue Spring Creek, whose headwaters originate at the brink of the Markagunt Plateau, then flow south and east to Panguitch Lake. Panguitch Lake drains into Panguitch Creek, which joins the Sevier River near the small community of Panguitch. Construction of the dam, which occurred in phases between 1885 and 1975, changed the original depth of Panguitch Lake from 35 feet to 57 feet and the surface area from 777 acres to 1,248 acres. The dam was built to enable it to hold more water for irrigation. The West Panguitch Irrigation Company controls the water levels. Panguitch Lake is known primarily as a fishing destination. In fact, the earliest known use of Panguitch Lake was as a fishery by Paiute Indians. Very appropriately, the name Panguitch means “big fish” in the Paiute language. The lake is famous for its plentiful trout. Anglers will find rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout thriving in its cool waters. In the winter, ice fishing is very popular on the lake. The Panguitch Lake Adventure Resort has a marina, where visitors can rent everything from small fishing boats to a full pontoon. There is also the option to rent boat slips and bring one’s own craft. There are two public boat ramps and a fish cleaning station. Make your reservations online today www.RVfish.com or call 435-676-2864.
This fish is as big as I am!
Our own ATV Rally!
Jul 15
The committee that is organizing the Bryce ATV Rally asked the resort if we could make the Fishbone Poker Run the official poker run for the rally. It was discussed with the staff and it was a unanimous decision to join the rally! This will help make the attendance much larger and the prizes more numerous because of increased sponsorship. You will need to pay a $25.00 registration fee but for that fee you will receive a T Shirt and Dinner on Saturday night, please go to the event website www.brycerally.org to register. The poker run will be on Saturday August 28th and run between the town of Panguitch and Panguitch Lake! The run will be around 32 miles and those of you more adventurous riders can run it round trip. The awards ceremony will be at the Triple C Arena in Panguitch on Saturday night. There will be an ATV Rodeo and 12 guided ATV rides that will encompass some of the most scenic area’s of Southern Utah! We have decided to cancel the Poker Run Scheduled for July 24th and concentrate all of our efforts for sponsorship on the Bryce Rally. We run a fun run that weekend for all of the ATV riders so do not despair!!
