Jack and Jill Lakes is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 4.2 acres, reaches about 9.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 16 acre-feet.

Jack and Jill Lakes is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Jack and Jill Lakes, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Jack and Jill Lakes include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

While looking for rainbow trout on Jack and Jill Lakes, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the Water

Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; try firm bottom before soft silt, then use wind to narrow the search.

Season by Season

Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then use wind to narrow the search.

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; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.

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; search one cove before changing areas, then slow down after the first bite.
