Fishing McClellan Lake in Utah County, Utah

• Overview

  McClellan Lake is listed under Utah County, Utah. The ground around here is lake country bush. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Utah County list. You are 5.3 miles from Woodland Hills. It is 21 miles to Provo, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on McClellan Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. County-wide records name rainbow trout, brown trout, common carp and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. McClellan Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 24°F to 62°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. McClellan Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
