Fish species in Cedar Peak Lake

Cedar Peak Lake is a lake in Wayne County, Utah and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 6.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.9 acre-feet.

Cedar Peak Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Cedar Peak Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Cedar Peak Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

To begin with rainbow trout on Cedar Peak Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the Water

Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; write down the productive depth.

Season by Season

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; match lure size to the visible food, then return to productive water when light changes.

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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then return to productive water when light changes.

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; begin over firm bottom, then make one pass close to bottom.
