Fish species in Spider Lake

Spider Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 20 acres, reaches about 13.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 104.9 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; start with the cover closest to deep water, then try natural colors in clear water.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Spider Lake include Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.

How to Read the 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; let wind choose the first bank, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.

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; work an old channel turn, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.

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; work an old channel turn, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then test the drop before leaving.
