Piute is historically a big rainbow water...however, recent drought and rotenone poisonings have kept it in check the past few years. Last year was the first year in a while that the fishing actually started coming back...right now there are not lots of fish in it, but the rainbows are growing pretty quickly and are already 2-5 pounds. Piute has also been a good smallmouth bass fishery and will put out nice bass at times. The bass right now, though, are pretty few and far between. They need time to replenish the reservoir; it shouldn't take too long.
