Fish species in Blue Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Blue Lake in Duchesne County is a lake in Utah and covers about 17.5 acres, reaches about 12.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 89.8 acre-feet.

The small size of this water makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle; test the drop before leaving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Blue Lake include Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.

When rainbow trout are the target on Blue Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

Brook Trout, and Tiger Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

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 point before fishing a featureless bank.

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; fish the same shape nearby.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Blue Lake, 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.

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; compare shallow and deeper water.
