Bobs Lake, Utah: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Bobs Lake is a Summit County water, Utah side. The surroundings are rolling bush. At roughly 6 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is high ground by Utah standards. Start from Mountain View, 34 miles down the road. It is 66 miles to Salt Lake City, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Bobs Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Summit County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and brook trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Bobs Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 52°F on average, December about 16°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid June. Climate averages put the opening at about mid June and the closing near early November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. On Bobs Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Lake Lorena, 5.8 miles away. Where Bobs Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
