Washington Lake Fishing Report

Leave a Rating

Last Updated: February 11, 2026

Washington Lake, located in Utah’s Uinta Mountains, offers excellent trout fishing—primarily rainbow, brook, and tiger trout.


Summary

Best fishing spots include the eastern shoreline and near the inlet where streams flow in—ideal for shore anglers. Boat access is available via a small ramp, though non-motorized boats are recommended. Popular lures include spinners, flies, and PowerBait, especially during early morning and evening. Peak fishing is late spring through fall, as the lake freezes in winter. Shallow coves and drop-offs near the dam are hot areas. Fly anglers succeed with dry or nymph patterns, especially during summer hatches. Nearby campgrounds offer easy shoreline access.

Angling Safety Guidelines

Know the Regulations
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
