1. Yes - The winds have a look all of there own. If you've never experienced it, it is well worth the drive.
2- Yes - Generally it holds bigger fish, they can be tough to catch in some places and fairly easy in other lakes. I've caught big cutts, brookies, and lake trout out of there. I also caught hundreds of small brook and cutthroat trout as well.
3- Yes, if you like granite, the winds are the place. Hiking off trail can be exhausting and dangerous without good maps and a compass. If it looks steep on a map, it is most likely near impossible to hike with a backpack.
4- Never been on the reservation side.
If you're after a few big fish and unmatched scenery, the winds are spectacular. Don't forget about the wyoming fish licenses in your budget. Just be aware, you will not be able to backpack in Utah again without thinking and longing for the winds. We did the boulders last year and all I heard was how everyone wished they were in the winds.
