Cow Lake is a lake in Utah, near Kane County.
Cow Lake is a lake in Kane County, Utah and covers about 29.4 acres, reaches about 14.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 167.1 acre-feet.
Cow Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Cow Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Cow 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; begin near moving water, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
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; follow bait before changing areas.
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; search one cove before changing areas, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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 water color to choose the first lure, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
