Fish species in Lake Brimhall

Lake Brimhall is a lake in Wasatch County, Utah and covers about 10.6 acres, reaches about 4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 17 acre-feet.

The small size of Lake Brimhall makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Lake Brimhall, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

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

For rainbow trout on Lake Brimhall, 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; let wind choose the first bank, then let a light jig fall beside the break.

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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then keep one slow bait ready.

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; check the clean side of wind, then use the old channel as a guide.

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; check the coolest inflow, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
