My sons and I made the effort to hike 1.5 hr to White Pine Lake on Saturday afternoon. We got to the lake about 2:30 PM and started to fish. In the first 10 casts I caught 5 fish and had a hit on ever cast. By the time is was time to leave, I had caught 22 fish in all. All were safely released into the lake to be caught another day. My son's did equally well.
This is a photo of one of the larger brookies. He was about 13". The other photo is a shot of the two fish I caught on a single cast.

It took me long enough, but I finally took a hike up to white pine. I didn't know it was so steep going down right before the lake. Although I guess this really helps the likelihood that the fish will be released - I know I don't want pack fish up that hill!
I think I have two personalities. One is an ambitious hiker, and the other is a lazy fisherman. And the two are never around at the same time. I do want to try fishing up there. It sounds like a blast - but the fisherman in me is too lazy.

hashbaz, I'm with you on the hike. That's why about once a year I get to White Pine. I drug my but out of there this year and could hardly get out of the car when I got home. But then catching those beautiful fish makes it worth the trip.

Very nice little fish. One question. Where is White Pine at? Is it in the the mirror lake area or up one of the cottonwood's canyons?

White Pine Lake is in Logan Canyon (Cache County). It is about a 3-4 mile hike from Tony Grove Lake.

What flies did we use? Last saturday was one of those days that it did not matter. I used mostly darker patterns and big. I caught about ten fish on a big #4 double renegade. I also got quite a few on a #8 Royal Wolf. Corey, a son, said he used eight different pattern and caught fish on all of them. Jaren, another son, caught five on a black leech he had tied.
