South Lake is a lake in Utah, near Rich County.
South Lake is a lake in Rich County, Utah and covers about 64.5 acres, reaches about 16.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 430.8 acre-feet.
South Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; cast across the break instead of along it, then keep one slow bait ready.
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; fish a small bottom change, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
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; cast across the point tip, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then keep the bait near useful cover.
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; work from shallow to deep, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
