Bloods Lake Fishing near Park City, Utah

• Overview

  Salt Lake County, Utah, is where Bloods Lake sits. It stands 9,547 feet above sea level. At 4 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Some 4.2 miles away sits Park City, the nearest settlement. Further out sit Snyderville (6.5 miles) and Midway (7.4 miles). The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Bloods Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. County-wide records name rainbow trout, black-spotted cutthroat trout, brown trout, common carp and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Bloods Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 59°F in July and bottoms out near 22°F in December. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. From about early May to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That shapes the year on Bloods Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Silver Lake is 0.4 miles distant. None of that is settled for Bloods Lake in what we hold.
