Quail Creek Bait & Tackle — Fishing Supplies in Hurricane, Utah

Quail Creek Bait & Tackle is a locally owned fishing supply shop in Hurricane, Utah, serving anglers who fish the productive waters of Quail Creek Reservoir, Sand Hollow Reservoir, Kolob Reservoir, and the other lakes, reservoirs, and streams within reach of Southern Utah's Washington County. The shop stocks a comprehensive selection of live bait, terminal tackle, lures, rods, reels, line, and fishing accessories, along with fishing licenses, local fishing reports, and the firsthand knowledge that only a shop staffed by local anglers can provide. For visitors and residents alike, Quail Creek Bait & Tackle is the go-to resource for everything needed to fish Southern Utah's warm and cold water fisheries.

Live Bait and Tackle

The shop maintains a reliable supply of live bait including nightcrawlers, mealworms, crickets, and PowerBait — the staples that produce results in the reservoirs and stocked waters throughout the region. The tackle selection covers the full range of terminal gear, from hooks, sinkers, and swivels in every size to pre-rigged setups designed for the specific species and conditions found in local waters. Quail Creek Reservoir is known for its largemouth bass, bluegill, and stocked rainbow trout, while Sand Hollow produces excellent largemouth bass fishing in a stunning red rock setting. The shop's staff can recommend the right bait and tackle combination for the target species, the current conditions, and the angler's experience level — advice that saves time on the water and increases the chances of a successful outing.

Lures and Hard Goods

For anglers who prefer artificial lures, Quail Creek Bait & Tackle stocks a curated selection of crankbaits, soft plastics, spinnerbaits, jigs, topwater lures, and fly fishing gear that covers the species and conditions found in Southern Utah waters. The selection is tailored to local fishing patterns rather than attempting to stock every product on the market — an approach that ensures the lures on the wall are lures that actually produce results in the waters nearby. The shop also carries rods, reels, line, and combo setups at various price points, from affordable starter outfits for occasional anglers and families introducing children to fishing, to quality gear for serious bass anglers and fly fishers. Rod and reel rental is available for visitors who want to fish but did not bring their own equipment. Fishing is one of the best things to do in Southern Utah's outdoor paradise.

Fishing Licenses and Local Knowledge

Quail Creek Bait & Tackle is an authorized Utah fishing license vendor, making it easy for visitors to purchase the licenses required to fish legally in Utah waters. The shop's staff stays current on fishing regulations, season dates, and any special restrictions that apply to local waters. Beyond licenses and regulations, the real value the shop provides is local fishing knowledge — current conditions on Quail Creek and Sand Hollow, what the fish are biting on this week, which areas of each reservoir are producing, water temperature reports, and the seasonal patterns that experienced local anglers have learned over years of fishing these waters. This knowledge is freely shared with customers and often makes the difference between a productive day on the water and a frustrating one.

Camping and Outdoor Supplies

Recognizing that many of its customers are heading to the reservoir for a full day or weekend of outdoor recreation, Quail Creek Bait & Tackle stocks a selection of camping supplies, sunscreen, coolers, snacks, beverages, and outdoor gear that complements the fishing supplies. The shop serves as a convenient last stop before heading to the water, providing everything an angler or camper might need for a day at Quail Creek State Park or Sand Hollow State Park. The shop's location in Hurricane positions it ideally for anglers coming from the St. George area, and its early opening hours accommodate anglers who want to be on the water at first light.
