Sargent Lakes is a reservoir in Summit County, Utah.

The recorded size of Sargent Lakes is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; look along a shallow shelf, then check both sides of the point.

Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; work from shallow to deep, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.

How to Read the Water

At Sargent Lakes, 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.

Season by Season

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; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.

A Simple Tackle Plan

A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; use a light bait when the water is clear, then let a light jig fall beside the break.

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 windblown bank, then separate open water from cover.
