I love the Uintas I tie up blow flys for up there and love to spin Irresistable's for it. last year they got up there early but this year w have more snow so it will probably be may before I can get close to murdock basin were I like to go.

Hey Hoobie, welcome to the boards. I'm really excited about heading up to the Uintah's this year. I hope to give some new areas a try this year. It sure is a great place to catch a ton of fish.

Welcome,
I have gone in to Wall lake above Trial lake with snow still on its banks, fishing with colorado spinners, and knocked them dead.

I fished a lot of lakes in the uintahs this summer. The best fishing was at Tomsan lake behind the four lakes basin. 2 - 2 1/2 pound brookies.

Thanks for the tip on the Brookies but if i were you I would be careful give it out were because it could get wiped out . Not by me by no means . I hope to break 2# on a brook from the Uintas this year . I have only hooked a hand full ever close to 2# up there . But I don't fish the Uintas much . I like to go for some fall color and a brookie is great for color pic in the fall .

Thanks for the tip....I was looking for a nice spot to take my Scout group to this weekend. I assume bait and treble hooks are allowed right? How many people do you think one of those brookies can feed? There will probably be about 20 of us.

I took a scout troop up to Trial lake area back in July. We camped near Crystal lake and fished there and at Washington lake with very good success--particularly with a fly (renegade or mosquitoe) behind a casting bubble.

I really hope you are kidding on this one. 2# brooks should be treasured. Take the smaller ones from a nearby lake for eating and show the kids respect for one of natures beauties and release the big boys that are so rare up there.

Are you looking for a place to backpack into. Give me another reply, maybe I can help. I was a backpacking guide for a High Adventure camp this summer. I have been all over up there.
