Aquatic life at this dive site

What divers may encounter

Three reviewed connections are featured here. Sightings vary by season, conditions, and chance, so they are never guaranteed.

Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) — photograph
Likely year-round encounter

Largemouth Bass

Micropterus salmoides

Utah DWR identifies Sand Hollow as a major largemouth bass fishery. Bass may hold in deeper 20–40 foot water during winter and move shallower around the spring spawn.

Likely schooling encounter

Bluegill

Lepomis macrochirus

Utah DWR lists bluegill as a likely catch and describes schools suspended in 20–40 feet during fall; divers may also find them near shoreline cover in warmer months.

Black Crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) — photograph
Possible reservoir encounter

Black Crappie

Pomoxis nigromaculatus

Utah DWR documents a self-sustaining black crappie population at Sand Hollow but classifies the species as a possible rather than likely catch, so sightings should not be expected on every dive.
