Fish species in Mohawk Lake

Mohawk Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 47.4 acres, reaches about 15.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 297.9 acre-feet.

Mohawk Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Mohawk Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.

The first rainbow trout pass on Mohawk Lake should 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; keep the first pass close to structure, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.

Season by Season

Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; work an old channel turn, then keep one slow bait ready.

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 the clearest edge, 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; match lure size to the visible food, then make one pass close to bottom.
