Pollen Lake is a lake in Daggett County, Utah and covers about 23 acres, reaches about 13.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 124.1 acre-feet.
The small size of Pollen Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Pollen Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Pollen Lake is to 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; work an old channel turn, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
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; follow any bait found near the surface, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
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; begin beside green weeds, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
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; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then separate open water from cover.
