The 2-acre Little Meadows in Piute County is a lake in Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 8.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 6.4 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then write down the productive depth. With little deep water in Little Meadows, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Little Meadows include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Little Meadows, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
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; start where bait gathers, 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; try the windblown bank, 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; look along a shallow shelf, then try natural colors in clear water.
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; test the clearest edge, then look for a second bite before leaving.
