Has anyone fished Big Elk or Little Elk lake up in the Uintas?
If so, what time of year does the snow melt enough to make that area accessible? [signature]

Aquaman... You must be looking at meters instead of feet. Those lakes are in the 9000+ foot range.

I looked through my provo and weber river drainage book I got from the DWR, that says that Big Elk Lake is 10,020 feet and little elk lake is 9,780 feet in elevation.

A good indicator is watching the snow on the wasatch front. When it is finally gone, then you can usually get to the higher lakes in the Uintahs. Usually around the end of may, first part of june is when you can count on ice off.
