Swasey Lakes is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Swasey Lakes is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 6.7 acres, reaches about 10.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 27.8 acre-feet.
Swasey Lakes is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Swasey Lakes, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Swasey Lakes include Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.
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; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then write down the productive depth.
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; follow the old channel through the lake, then use wind to narrow the search.
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; begin over firm bottom, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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 on a firm point, then compare shallow and deeper water.
