• Where to Fish on Shoestring Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Wasatch County cover 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. Fish Shoestring Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
