Blue Lake is a lake in Utah, near Uintah County.
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 Uintah County is a lake in Utah and covers about 5.9 acres, reaches about 10.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 24.2 acre-feet.
This is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover; fish isolated cover before a long empty edge. Keep the first check simple: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for this water include Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
Start the rainbow trout search on Blue Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
brook 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; use one moving lure and one slow bait.
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; search one cove before changing areas, then add vibration in stained water.
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; fish the same shape nearby.
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 bait before changing areas.
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; use a light bait when the water is clear, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
