Pelham Lake is a lake in Utah, near Garfield County.
Pelham Lake is a lake in Garfield County, Utah and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 6.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.9 acre-feet.
Pelham Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Pelham Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Pelham Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Pelham Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; follow a short creek arm, then fish the same shape nearby.
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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then separate open-water fish from bank 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; follow a short creek arm, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
