Dead Horse Lake is a lake in Utah, near Summit County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Dead Horse Lake in Summit County is a lake in Utah and covers about 14.3 acres, reaches about 12.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 69.9 acre-feet.
Dead Horse Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Dead Horse Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
While looking for rainbow trout on Dead Horse Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Tiger Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; compare shallow and deeper 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; start near the best mix of cover, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; test the clearest edge, then slow down after the first bite.
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 beside deeper water, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
At Dead Horse Lake, 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.
