Black Lake in Duchesne County is a lake in Utah and covers about 11.9 acres, reaches about 11.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 56 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; add vibration in stained water. This water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone; give shaded water a separate pass.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Black Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
To begin with rainbow trout on Black Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
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; fish the first useful drop, then keep the first route short.
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; let two bites set the useful depth.
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; add vibration in stained water.
