Headed to St George for the weekend. I have never fished anywhere near there, and I was wondering what my options are? What are the reservoirs/rivers near there and what kind of fish are in them.
Not looking for secret spots or anything, just needing to know what to pack.
Thanks!

What kind of fishing are looking for? Sand Hollow should be good for Bass.

My friends son and his buddy hit Gunlock a week ago. Caught several trout and a couple very nice bass.

Good grief, what don't you have. Quail Creek: LMB, Bluegill, trout. Sand Hollow: One of the best LMB waters in the state, also blue gill, trout. Gunlock: LMB, Trout, and Crappie. If you drive a bit, Minersville: LMB, SMB, several different trout species, and Wipers. Enterprise Res: LMB, SMB, Wipers, Tiger Musky, and trout. there are tons of small high mtn. lakes, but most of those will not be accessable. Oh, for got the best of the bunch, Lake Powell. Bit of a drive, but what the hey !! Have a fun Easter Weekend !!!
Yes agreed with previous comments - to some extent.
Your best bet is going to be Sand Hollow for bass (I doubt you will find any trout at Sand Hollow) I wasn't aware there were any left in there...if you are lucky you will hook into so crappie.
Quail Creek for trout. Bass fishing is generally a little slower than Sand Hollow but you can still catch some nice ones.
Gunlock was treated with rotenone at end of 2015 and the fishery is still rebounding. They have planted or transplanted fish, so starting to hear more and more reports of success.
Baker Dam reservoir will usually have some planter bows in there. Rumors of big browns, rare to come by these days.
Sand Hollow, Quail, Gunlock, and Baker Dam are all within 30 mins of St. George. The last 2 are a bit further, but no more than 1 to 1.5 hours away.
Enterprise your best target is for trout, maybe some bass.
Don't forget Newcastle - this is the only place nearby you are going to catch wipers, unless you make the drive up to minersville. You can also hook in to trout at Newcastle, MAYBE some bass.
