High Uinta lakes

[Dawgden]

Well....I’m glad I took my fishing gear. We hiked/hunted the Gilbert Lake drainage. Hunting was very unproductive as we didn’t see a living animal besides a couple woodpeckers. That snow storm must have pushed them out, even though there wasn’t much snow even at the lake. The DNR guy we ran in to said a lot animals moved out. Any how made it to Gilbert Lake and I think had it not been windy I might have needed the auger. Didn’t fish the lake very much due to the wind and only having my fly rod with me. The small streams going in and out provided some small Brookies. Any time I came up to a pool in the stream there would be countless fish darting back and forth. Took a couple back in to the trees for a little afternoon snack.
