Fishing at Silver Glance Lake, Utah County, Utah

• Overview

  Look for Silver Glance Lake in the Utah County part of Utah. The land about it is lake country bush. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. On size it sits at the modest end of our Utah County list. Supplies mean a trip to Granite, 7.6 miles off. Beyond it, Alpine at 7.8 miles and Cedar Hills at 9.3 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Silver Glance Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Utah County include rainbow trout, brown trout and common carp. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Silver Glance Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 59°F at the top of summer and 21°F at the bottom of winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Silver Glance Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon.
