Hidden Lake is a reservoir in Utah, near Grand County.
Hidden Lake in Grand County is a reservoir in Utah and covers about 2.2 acres, reaches about 16 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 15.3 acre-feet.
The small size of this water makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle; keep the first route short.
Fish listed for Hidden Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with bluegill on Hidden Lake, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
Start the largemouth bass search on Hidden Lake by trying to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
The first channel catfish pass on Hidden Lake should fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
At Hidden Lake, try this for rainbow trout: cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; start beside deeper water, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
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 beside deeper water, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; follow bait before changing areas.
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; try the windblown bank, then separate open water from cover.
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; fish one point at two depths, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
