Young Lake is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Young Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 5.4 acres, reaches about 10 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 21.8 acre-feet.
Young Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Young Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Young Lake include 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; follow the old channel through the lake, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; fish where rock meets mud, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
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 a creek turn before a flat bank, then look for a second bite before leaving.
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; search one cove before changing areas, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
