Stewart Lake Fishing in Duchesne County, Utah

• Overview

  Stewart Lake is one of the Duchesne County waters in Utah. This is mixed forest ground. Duchesne sits 34 miles from the bank. Kamas follows at 36 miles, then Francis at 36 miles. Within a short run: Clements Lake a shade over 0.4 miles, Twin Lakes within 1.1 miles, Mud Lake a shade over 1.1 miles, Aspen Lake within 1.6 miles and Atwine Lake a shade over 1.6 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Stewart Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Duchesne County include brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, Arctic grayling and black-spotted cutthroat trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Stewart Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 18°F to 54°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Once it clears, about early June, the fishing comes on quickly. On average, early June opens the water and mid November closes it again. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Stewart Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Clements Lake is 0.4 miles distant. None of that is settled for Stewart Lake in what we hold.
