Meadow Lake is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Meadow Lake in Duchesne County is a lake in Utah and covers about 3.5 acres, reaches about 9.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 12.6 acre-feet.
The small size of Meadow Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Meadow Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Meadow Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Meadow Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; test the clearest edge, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
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; cast across the break instead of along it, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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 the quiet side before the windy side, then try natural colors in clear water.
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; work a quiet shoreline, then write down the productive depth.
