Cutthroat Lake is a lake in Utah, near Summit County.
The 2.1-acre Cutthroat Lake in Summit County is a lake in Utah and covers about 2.1 acres, reaches about 8.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 7 acre-feet.
The small size of this water makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle; fish the windy and calm sides differently. This water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone; fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Fish listed for Cutthroat Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Tiger Trout.
Start the tiger trout search on Cutthroat Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, spinner, minnow lure, or fly along cool rocky edges.
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; follow the old channel through the lake, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; fish where rock meets mud, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
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; start on a firm point, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then compare shallow and deeper water.
