Norice Lake is a lake in Summit County, Utah and covers about 7.3 acres, reaches about 10.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 31.5 acre-feet.
The small size of Norice Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Norice Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Norice Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
The first rainbow trout pass on Norice Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
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; test a shaded bank, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then watch water color during the day.
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; follow any bait found near the surface, then add vibration in stained 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; check the downwind corner for food, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
