• Where to Fish on Marjorie Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Open biodiversity records for Wasatch County list brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Treat Marjorie Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 55°F in July and bottom out at 19°F in December. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late May. The open-water window runs from around late May to about mid November in an average year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Expect Marjorie Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Weir Reservoir, 0.2 miles out.
