Larvae Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 5.4 acres, reaches about 10 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 21.8 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check a protected pocket, then repeat the first clean pattern. With little deep water in Larvae Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Larvae Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
The first rainbow trout pass on Larvae Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then slow down after the first bite.
Season by Season
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; work the best shade during bright hours, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
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; start on a firm point, 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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
