I have hiked up and camped in the white pine red pine area in little cottonwood I think we ended up at white pines lake. I fished it for a while(not knowing if their were even any fish) no luck but, I talked to a fish cop at the bottom of the trail and asked him if he knew of any fish in the lakes up there. He said that he knows there have been grayling reported before in in the past but that is all he knew. There are a lot of lakes in those canyons that have fish in them even some with lakers. My favorite one with the best fishing that I have hiked to is Bells Canyon Res. I am not talking about the first "POND but the one that is way up in the high alpine above the timber line. It takes about 9-10 hours to hike in with a 40- 60 lb pack and all up hill. But the cutthroat fishing is non stop. They are all healthy decent sized trout. I heard there were some hogs in there that go upwards of 5 lbs. That place gets very little traffic and is kinda hard to find. I think that it is a great little place that I will be visiting again soon. I just ned to get back into shape.
