Faxon Lake is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Faxon Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 7.9 acres, reaches about 10.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 34.2 acre-feet.
The small size of Faxon Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Faxon Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Faxon Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Faxon Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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 an old channel turn, then make short moves after each pass.
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; try the windblown bank, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; test the clearest edge, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
At Faxon 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.
