Hull Lake is a reservoir in Box Elder County, Utah and covers about 731.7 acres, reaches about 60.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 18,908.8 acre-feet.
Several patterns can work at once on Hull Lake, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water. Deep water at Hull Lake gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Hull Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass.
At Hull Lake, try this for black crappie: fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
At Hull Lake, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
At Hull Lake, try this for smallmouth bass: drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point.
At Hull Lake, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
How to Read the Water
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
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; follow a short creek arm, then work each small drop before going deeper.
A Simple Tackle Plan
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; use water color to choose the first lure, then change lure speed before moving.
At Hull 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.
Hull Lake FAQs
What is a simple way to start fishing for black crappie at Hull Lake?
Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; cast across the point tip, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
What does the 60.1 feet deepest point mean when fishing Hull Lake?
Treat 60.1 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
What is the best reason to change spots at Hull Lake?
Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
