• Where to Fish on Spring Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Box Elder County include common carp, mountain sucker, green sunfish, Utah sucker and black bullhead. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Spring Lake a short move beats a long cast.
