23-acre lake in Daggett County, Utah. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Spirit Lake's chart carries 1.2 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 79% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Daggett County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Sheep Creek Lake, 8 mi northeast of here.
Early season cutthroat trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 18 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 18 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 8 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 4 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 5 to 18 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 18 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 18 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
