Summer is a busy time at Panguitch Lake. On any day of the week you can find plenty of boats and shore anglers on the lake, though weekends are busiest. Rainbow trout are the most active species during the summer, though you can pick up a cutthroat or tiger trout occasionally. Fishing from boats is typically most successful since many fish move out to deeper water during the warmer months. Shore fishing will be best around the steeper shorelines. 

Remember that all cutthroat and tiger trout between 15 and 22 inches in length must be released, so look carefully at the fish you catch. If you're not sure of what you caught, it's best to release the fish. Maintaining good numbers of large cutthroat and tiger trout is essential to controlling the density of Utah chubs in Panguitch Lake and preserving good trout fishing into the future.
