• Where to Fish on Allred Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Duchesne County include brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, Arctic grayling and black-spotted cutthroat trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Allred Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 17°F in December and 52°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about mid June, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid June until roughly early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Allred Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Allen Lake, 0.4 miles away. What applies at Allred Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
