Posy Lake is a lake in Utah, near Garfield 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.
Posy Lake is a lake in Garfield County, Utah and covers about 11 acres, reaches about 6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 50 acre-feet.
The small size of Posy Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Posy Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Posy Lake include Cutthroat Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Splake, Rainbow Trout, and Tiger 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.
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; start near the best mix of cover, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; begin beside green weeds, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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; check the clean side of wind, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; start beside deeper water, then match the hook and line to the named target.
