My wife and I finally got time to go up to the cabin in the Uintas. I fished Butterfly Lake on the north slope, just off the highway. I tried salmon eggs, worms, and power bait. On each one I got one hit, nothing landed. Then I switched to a green flash wooly bugger that I had tied. I was using a spin casting outfit with one sinker about 18" above the fly. Holy cow! I got fish on almost every cast! It was a bunch of fun. As I moved around the lake, it was the same thing. If I didn't get a hit, I could see fish following it in. Everything that I caught was a rainbow, not a brookie in the bunch. Can't wait to get back and try it again, different lakes, different colors.
