Rain Lakes is a lake in Utah, near Garfield County.
Rain Lakes in Garfield County is a lake in Utah and covers about 3 acres, reaches about 8.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.4 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; use a slow bait after the search lure, then keep one slow bait ready. This water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone; cast across the break instead of along it, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
Fish listed for Rain Lakes include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Rain Lakes by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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; start on a firm point, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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 match the hook and line to the named target.
