Buckeye Lake is a lake in Utah, near Summit County.
Buckeye Lake is a lake in Summit County, Utah and covers about 8.2 acres, reaches about 10.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 35.5 acre-feet.
The small size of Buckeye Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Buckeye Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Buckeye Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
When rainbow trout are the target on Buckeye Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
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; make short moves after each pass.
At Buckeye Lake, 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.
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; fish one point at two depths, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
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; start on a firm point, then add vibration in stained water.
