Fish species in Lizard Lake

Lizard Lake in Sanpete 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; test the clearest edge, then make short moves after each pass. With little deep water in Lizard Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lizard Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

Start the rainbow trout search on Lizard Lake by trying to 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; work an old channel turn, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.

Season by Season

Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.

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; test a shaded bank, then keep the bait above soft bottom.

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; follow any bait found near the surface, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
