I just checked the Fish Stocking report and several of the lakes on Hwy 150 were stocked this week including: Trial, Lily, Lost, Teapot, Mirror, and Pass. There may have been more but those are the ones that I did see. So, if you are heading up there soon the fishing is sure to be great :2thumbs:
I fished at Mirror Yesterday and my friend and I caught about 60 of there... Mostly Rainbow planters a few Tigers, Albinos and Brookes. Fished Washington and Crystal.... pretty slow there..
I wanted to fish Crystal Last week but decided not to. Hopefully it will pick up by the next time I'm up there. I want to hit Ibantik and the Three Divides sooooooo badly.Quote:

oh yeah, and ZERO mosquitoes. good times. :2thumbs:
Sounds to me like the western Uintas (except passes) are now ready for backpacking. Thanks for the update. I'll snap a pic of amethyst next weekend. It will be interesting to see what one week can do for a half frozen lake.Quote:

The road to crystal lake is completely clear. There are still a bunch of snow drifts in the area and more so as you start going up on the trails. We only went up to cliff lake and camped there. There's still a lot of snow and it was fairly difficult finding a dry spot to camp. The lake still had some ice on it around the shoreline, but was mostly clear. Fishing was not very good. I hiked up the ridge to petite lake and it's pretty much still frozen with the exception around the inlet. I hiked above that and could see clyde lake. It looked open and I saw a couple people camping down there. I believe you could make it to the divide lakes, but it's very wet and I would highly recommend waterproof boots. I bet by the end of this week conditions would be favorable. We ended up fishing trial lake on thursday and the fishing was very fast. I'll try to get around doing a trip report later today.
That is so good to hear. I was waiting a bit before going back again this month. Hopefully the fishing in there will pick up a bit.Quote:

Thanks for the update. We're excite to get up there. I've heard the road from lyman lake through elizabeth ridge is pretty bad. We've decided to take a alternate route do to the poor road conditions. Had a friend head up there last weekend that gave thumbs up to the route from Fort Bridger wy to lyman lake.Quote:

Don't give up on those lakes quite yet.
Yeah, about this time two years ago, I was hauling fish out of Weir. What were you using? I found worms to be quite effective, and usually do in those Uinta Lakes. The lakes with grayling I've caught them mostly on flies reeled slowly behind a bubble.Quote:

How was the trail out to Duck Lake? Were you post holing or just walking over piles of snow? How were the skeeters?Quote:

Sorry, I am new to the forums as you can tell, and I have been reading like mad for the last few days trying to find any info I can. Using ctrl+f a lot, but forgot to check for a built in forum search function. Thanks for the links to the posts.
no worries. welcome to bogley. be sure to let us know how it goes. btw, i'd expect not much snow, but the mozzies will be unmerciful i bet. have a good time.Quote:
