Davis Lakes is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 6.2 acres, reaches about 10.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 25.5 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then change retrieve speed before changing lures. With little deep water in Davis Lakes, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Davis Lakes include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Davis Lakes, 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; follow any bait found near the surface, then give shaded water a separate pass.
Season by Season
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 the warmest edge early in spring, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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; check the clearest edge before moving, then watch water color during the day.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then try natural colors in clear water.
