Big Lake in Duchesne County is a lake in Utah and covers about 3 acres, reaches about 8.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.4 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; keep a worm ready for a slower check. With little deep water in Big Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Big Lake include Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; compare shallow and deeper water.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; write down the productive depth.
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; pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then give shaded water a separate pass.
