[quote albinotrout][quote riverdog]Wait and see if June warms up and melt the Uintas. [/quote]
Contacted the Kamas Ranger station yesterday. They don't expect the trail I wanted to open up until mid July.[crazy] [/img][/quote]
I had a good friend that I used to frequently fish with. He'd always be calling the Forest Ranger stations in the early season for advise on current snow and water conditions.
Quite frankly the person answer the phone seemed to be always wrong. Probable stuck in the office and never out in the field. If they can't reliable answer current conditions I doubt they're that good at long range weather forecast and conditions. I won't be surprised if the end of June is still too snowy but I'd wait and see before writing it off as it depends greatly on the weather. Looking at Snotel data for Trial Lake the only year comparable to this year was 1986. That year and it melted out within a month.
