Yankee Meadows Reservoir - a little past Cedar City - southernman - 06-11-2004

Yankee Meadows Reservoir is one of the most beautiful spots in the world - really! It's always great to get up there, and this time had my dear old dad in tow, hes vacationing near st george this week . . .

well the wind was gusting 30 mph and we tried to situate ourselves where the wind would be at our backs . . .didnt do much good, no fish there . .dad moved down 20 yards and started nailing them . . first one a 2 lb brook trout! wow what a fish, we'll have pics later. 15 inches, and we weighed him on the digital scale. Then dad caught a 2 lb rainbow! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaa

I only caught one, dad caught 7 and we got outta there with most of our gear not blowing away. There's a camp host up there this year and the water level is high. Bathrooms are open too! I've attached a state datasheet.

Red rocks at Yankee? You must of camped down at Vermilion castle campground. Did you fish the little stream that runs through it? It can be fun if you don't mind 6-8" fish. I haven't fished it since last years flood washed everything out.

nope, took the pictures when we got back to where he was vacationing, that artist/retirement pueblo community near ivans, my camera had run out of juice at yankee

no didnt fish the stream, wind was vicious, we hung as long as we could
