Navajo Lake from the south shore. The far ridge is the plateau rim above the lava field.
Panguitch Lake
距离: ~35 分钟面积: ~1,248 英亩进入方式: Motorized boats · two public ramps · shore access
Panguitch Lake 是这一带寻找较大鳟鱼的主要湖泊。它的名字来自 Paiute 语,意思是“大的鱼”,也常被视为南犹他较强的鳟鱼水域之一。湖面超过 1,248 英亩,海拔约 8,200 英尺,是 Duck Creek 一日往返范围内最大、最深的钓鱼湖。这里有两个公共下水点、清鱼站和 Forest Service 营地,很适合安排整天行程。冬季湖面结冰后,冰钓也非常受欢迎。

Duck Creek, the stream
The creek itself is worth a mention. Duck Creek leaves the pond and runs through the meadows below the village, small enough to step across in places, and the state plants a modest number of catchable rainbows in it each year in late May and June. It is wade-and-bank fishing for small, willing trout, best in the first month after the plant and before the creek drops in July. Bring a short rod, a handful of size 14 dries, and low expectations about size.
When the four close waters are crowded or blown out, these are the day-trip alternatives we send guests to. Each has its own page.
Yankee Meadow Reservoir, about an hour, with the last seven miles on gravel: rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout in a quiet meadow reservoir with no services
Otter Creek Reservoir, about an hour and ten minutes near Antimony: a state-park lake stocked with rainbows, cutthroat, and wipers from April to November
Fish Lake, about an hour and 45 minutes: Utah's largest natural mountain lake, with lake trout, splake, and kokanee, a full-day trip with marinas
All lakes near Duck Creek for the complete list, including the ones that are better for paddling than fishing
装备与拟饵建议
在 Duck Creek 附近,大多数钓鱼不需要特别专业的装备。
饵钓
PowerBait - 对 Duck Creek Pond、Aspen Mirror Lake 和 Navajo Lake 的放养鳟鱼最稳定。
蚯蚓 - 四个钓点都好用,特别适合带孩子出钓。
鲑鱼卵 - 在 Navajo Lake 和 Aspen Mirror Lake 入水口附近表现很好。
Most angling guests do it this way: the pond on arrival evening, Aspen Mirror at first light the next morning, Navajo or Panguitch for the full day, and a village dinner after. Two nights covers it; three lets you pick the calm morning for the big lake. Rods ride fine in our rooms, and a cabin with a kitchen means you can cook what you keep. Our Duck Creek day plan lays the village day out hour by hour, and the fishing report is the page to check the morning you decide where to go.
