Lower Lake is a reservoir in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 15.3 acres, reaches about 21.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 139 acre-feet.
Lower Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lower Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Lower Lake, 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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
Season by Season
At Lower Lake, 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.
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; follow the outside weed line, 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; start beside deeper water, then use a moving lure to search.
