As I've never been to these lakes, take this as second hand advise. I've been told Round and Sand lakes have quite a few grayling. It is about 4 or so miles in, but they say they are easy to catch. The treailhead is near Smith-Moorehouse, but you'd have to check a map for the exact location. Good luck.

I went to round lake last year and it was fun. There is 4 or 5 lakes in that area with grayling in them. it is about a 4 mile hike in, all up hill but not bad for the most part,it does have a few steep sections. The grayling will take small drys like parachute ant,blow flys,mosquito.

You could hop over onto the Bear River side and hit Whiskey Island too. There is actually a road that takes you most of the way there, off Hwy 150. Its a pretty rough road but I found it last year. A map would help. I used one out of the Utah Fishing Guide. We caught only a few grayling but they were pretty nice, about 12-13 inches. It seems like it is the dirt road just to the right after you pass the Hayden Fork campground, as you head south on Hwy 150. Once you hit the dirt road, you will parallel the highway for a bit, then it will head west. Then you take the second 2-track to the left, and follow it to the end. You'll end up in a big basin with several fishless ponds. Whiskey Is. is the one just below the talus slopes to the west, only about a 0.5 mile hike. Good luck.

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP GUYS. I WENT TO THE DIVISION OFFICE AND BOUGHT A PAMPHLET ON UINTAH'S FISHING WHICH ALSO NARROWED DOWN THE SEARCH. WHAT A GREAT RESOURCE THIS IS. THANKS

You may consider Washington lake for early season grayling action.

Try Marjorie Lake off the Crystal Lake trailhead. It's only 2.5 miles one way and a nice hike. You go by many others - it's up and over the hill from Weir. My son and I caught a mess of 12-14" ers there a couple years ago. It does get drawn down later in the summer.

If you are planing to head to the four lakes basin area, I know that there are grayling in Carolyn Lake. It's about 2 miles away. The grayling are small, 7in range, but the action is fast. And if you do stop here you might want to stop at Pingeon Milk Springs, the water there is worth the short trip, No need to pump. Also if your in for a good hike with a great view, walk up to Rocky Sea Pass. Hope this helps.

Yes, Four Lakes Basin does have grayling. I've caught them there before but it was at Daynes Lake. I thought that was where Pigeon Milk Springs was; just icy cold water coming out of a pipe.

Pingeon Milk Springs does not have a pipe at least from what i have seen in my 5 times being there over the last 9 years. You go up into the rocks just above where the stream comes out and there are holes in which you can see the water and you just stick your water bottle right into the water. The water is ice cold, which is very refreshing. I myself have never been to four lakes basin, but some of our group go that way every year to take a few hours and fish, then the next morning we head up and over Rocky Sea Pass to brinkley for lunch and Gladys or Helen for camp. I do have pictures of these places if you want to see what your gonna go into if you head to Pigeon Milk Spring.

hope this helps,

I fished Marjorie last year, it was a waste of time, Weir is much better.

Sand and Round offer a greater chance at fast grayling action. That would be my top pick.
