Live Slough is a lake in Utah, near Rich County.
Live Slough is a lake in Rich County, Utah and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.5 acre-feet.
Live Slough is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Live Slough, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; fish a small bottom change, then let two bites set the useful depth.
Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
At Live Slough, 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.
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; look along a shallow shelf, then keep one slow bait ready.
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; let wind choose the first bank, then slow down after the first bite.
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 a protected pocket after sunrise, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
