Chriss Lake is a lake in Utah, near Garfield County.
Chriss Lake is a lake in Garfield County, Utah and covers about 4.7 acres, reaches about 15 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 28.2 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check the coolest inflow, then return to productive water when light changes.
Fish listed for Chriss Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Chriss Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; check the clean side of wind, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; change lure speed before moving.
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 retrieve speed before changing lures.
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; match lure size to the visible food, then slow down after the first bite.
