The 5.5-acre Hidden Lake in Summit County is a lake in Utah and covers about 5.5 acres, reaches about 10 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 22.2 acre-feet.
This is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover; slow down after the first bite. This water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for this water include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker; match the hook and line to the named target.
Start the rainbow trout search on Hidden Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
At Hidden Lake, 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.
Season by Season
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; check the coolest inflow, then repeat the first clean pattern.
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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; follow a short creek arm, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
