Mary's Lake is located in the Uinta Mountains of Utah and is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts. The lake is home to a variety of fish species including rainbow trout, brook trout, and tiger trout. Rainbow trout are the most prevalent and can be caught using a variety of methods such as fly fishing, spin casting, and trolling.

Aside from fishing, visitors can enjoy various activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. The lake is also situated near several other popular fishing spots in the Uinta Mountains, including Mirror Lake and Trial Lake.

For successful fishing, it's recommended to use small lures or flies, and to fish near the edges of the lake where the water is cooler. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to fish, and it's important to pay attention to weather conditions as fish are more active in cooler temperatures.

The best time to visit Mary's Lake for fishing is during the summer months of June through August when the lake is accessible and the weather is mild. The average temperature during this time of year is around 70-80°F during the day and drops to 40-50°F at night. It's important to note that the lake may be inaccessible during the winter months due to snow and ice.

Featured Fish - Apache Trout

iving in lakes and streams, this fish will eat insects, invertebrates and small minnows. They are typically targeted using very light spinning or fly tackle using nymphs, wet or dry flies, worms or salmon eggs. These fish may also strike small spinner baits or spoons but some areas where these fish can be found have enacted policies where anglers may only use artificial lures so check all regulations before targeting these fish. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish: The body coloration is golden-yellow or olive yellow, with a golden belly, and Parr marks (vertical bars) can be seen on juveniles, but these marks typically disappear in larger individuals. Spots can be seen in an even distribution of pronounced, moderate-sized, rounded or oval black spots on the sides of the body and on top of the head. These spots may sometimes extend below the lateral line and onto the dorsal and caudal fins. The top of the Apache trout’s head and back is typically dark olive to brown and a black stripe appears to go through each eye because of the presence of two small black dots on either side of the pupil. Below the lower jaw, there is a dash of color that will range from yellow to darker gold. The dorsal, pelvic, and anal fins are tipped with a white to orange color and the adipose fin is usually bordered with a black margin.
