Maple Lake is a reservoir in Utah, near Utah County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Maple Lake is a reservoir in Utah County, Utah and covers about 5.2 acres, reaches about 22 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 58 acre-feet.
Maple Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Maple Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
At Maple Lake, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
At Maple Lake, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
At Maple Lake, try this for channel catfish: fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
At Maple Lake, try this for rainbow trout: cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then change lure speed before moving.
Brook Trout, Tiger Muskie, Tiger Trout, and Wiper have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
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; start near the best mix of cover, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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 separate open-water fish from bank 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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then slow down after the first bite.
Use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets; try a natural color before a loud pattern.
Treat 22 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason; fish the windy and calm sides differently.
It confirms that brook trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
