Mytoge Lake is a lake in Uintah County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 8.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 6.4 acre-feet.
The small size of Mytoge Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Mytoge Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Mytoge Lake include Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.
How to Read the Water
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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
Season by Season
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; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then let two bites set the useful depth.
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; work from shallow to deep, then slow down after the first bite.
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 return to productive water when light changes.
