Hi Low Lake

Hi Low Lake is a lake in Beaver County, Utah and covers about 1.7 acres, reaches about 7.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5.5 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; work a quiet shoreline, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass. With little deep water in Hi Low Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Hi Low Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

One direct rainbow trout tactic on Hi Low Lake is to 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; work from shallow to deep, then work each small drop before going deeper.

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; begin over firm bottom, then let a light jig fall beside the break.

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; begin beside green weeds, 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; start beside deeper water, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
