Fish species in Marys Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Marys Lake is a lake in Sanpete County, Utah and covers about 6.2 acres, reaches about 8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 19.8 acre-feet.

The small size of Marys Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Marys Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Marys Lake include Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.

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; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.

Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.

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; start where bait gathers, then repeat the first clean pattern.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; cast across the point tip, then fish the edge from top to 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 the old channel through the lake, then keep one slow bait ready.
