Blue Lake is a lake in Utah, near Summit County.
The 8.7-acre Blue Lake in Summit County is a lake in Utah and covers about 8.7 acres, reaches about 11 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 38.1 acre-feet.
This is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover; test the drop before leaving. This water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
Fish listed for Blue Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Tiger Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
Start the rainbow trout search on this water by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
For tiger trout on this water, cast a small spoon, spinner, minnow lure, or fly along cool rocky edges.
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; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
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; work an old channel turn, then watch for food before choosing lure 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; follow any bait found near the surface, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
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; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then make short moves after each pass.
Work a small spinner, spoon, fly, or natural bait around cool water and broken rock.
Treat 11 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; fish the same shape nearby.
