Baxter Pothole is a lake in Cache County, Utah and covers about 1.6 acres, reaches about 7.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 4.8 acre-feet.
The small size of Baxter Pothole makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Baxter Pothole, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Baxter Pothole include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Baxter Pothole by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; change retrieve speed before changing lures.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; note the exact cover that gives a bite.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; try natural colors in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; work an old channel turn, then match the hook and line to the named target.
