Smallmouth Bass
Mormon Lake, though often shallow, can surprisingly hold some decent smallmouth bass. The key here is understanding the seasonal water fluctuations. Spring, when the lake fills from snowmelt, is your best bet. Focus on the submerged structure that becomes available as the water rises – think flooded brush and rocky points. Smallmouth in Mormon Lake tend to be opportunistic feeders, so natural presentations like crayfish imitations or small swimbaits work well. Because Mormon Lake is shallow, water clarity can be an issue, especially after windy days. Polarized sunglasses are essential for spotting submerged structure. Public access is available around much of the lake's perimeter, but a four-wheel-drive vehicle can be helpful for navigating the dirt roads. Keep an eye on water levels before you go, as the lake can become quite low during dry years.
