Lovenia Lake Fishing Guide, Wasatch County, Utah

• Overview

  Look for Lovenia Lake in the Wasatch County part of Utah. Elevation runs to 10,331 feet. At 2 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Wasatch County standards. Start from Kamas, 18 miles down the road. Beyond it, Oakley at 18 miles and Francis at 18 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lovenia Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Wasatch County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout and black-spotted cutthroat trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The near bank of Lovenia Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 55°F for July and 19°F for December. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late May. Break-up near late May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Lovenia Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. North Twin Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Lovenia Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
