• Where to Fish on Wedge Pond Number 4

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Emery County include rainbow trout, brown trout, black-spotted cutthroat trout and flannelmouth sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 74°F at the top of summer and 22°F at the bottom of winter. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid March. Ice clears near mid March and comes back about mid December in a typical year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The car has to stay 0.9 miles away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. You can camp half a mile off, which suits an early start. A toilet block sits 0.9 miles away. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Job Corps Pond at 6.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for this water.
