Beth Lake is a lake in Summit County, Utah and covers about 8.2 acres, reaches about 10.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 35.5 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; give shaded water a separate pass. With little deep water in Beth Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Beth Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
For rainbow trout on Beth Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; test a shaded bank, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
Season by Season
spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; use a light bait when the water is clear, then repeat the first clean pattern.
A Simple Tackle Plan
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; fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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 the best shade during bright hours, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.
