North Erickson Lake is a lake in Utah, near Summit County.
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.
North Erickson Lake is a lake in Summit County, Utah and covers about 7.9 acres, reaches about 10.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 34.2 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; fish one point at two depths, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep. With little deep water in North Erickson Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for North Erickson Lake include Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
The first rainbow trout pass on North Erickson Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Brook 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; pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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; cast across the break instead of along it, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; begin beside green weeds, then match lure size to the fish.
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; begin beside green weeds, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
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; pause the bait on each small drop, then use a moving lure to search.
