Clements Lake is a reservoir in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 72.1 acres, reaches about 12 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 371.9 acre-feet.
Clements Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water. With little deep water in Clements Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Clements Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
For rainbow trout on Clements Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then repeat the first clean pattern.
Season by Season
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; fish where rock meets mud, then repeat the first clean pattern.
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; begin near moving water, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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 slow bait after the search lure, then check both sides of the point.
