Wow! It has been forever since I have written on here. Nearly a year I think. That's what college does to a man ... but I'm back and ready to hook into some trophies!
I am looking for some suggestions concerning the fly-fishing in the high uintas. I have researched, read, and heard stories that a man like me can only dream about. However, I am from Pennsylvania originally and don't know a whole lot about the Uintas other than what I have read. I am planning a trip for late June with my best friend and am looking for any suggestions, general or specific, as to the best locations to hit and general patterns to start tying up. I have heard fantastic stories about the north and south sides of the Uintas. We are definitely looking for a remote area (we plan on hiking and camping a lot), great fishing (care more about numbers than size this time around ... though we may hit the Green for a day), and would really like to get into some good wild cutthroat and brookie fishing (I get excited just thinking about it!).
Furthermore, this trip will be a big trip to introduce my best friend to the art of fly-fishing and I want it to be a good experience for him. I'm sure most of you know how your first experience had an impact on your love of flyfishing.
Anyhow, I'd like to give the disclaimer that I am not a blabber mouth, so if there is a special place you don't want anyone to know about but are willing to disclose to a poor, fly-fishing loving college student and his learning friend, I will keep it tight lipped. [
] I will also honor any other requests associated with fishing such an area. I am respectful of places that are special to others, especially after my favorite childhood fishing hole was torn apart by some careless kids.[:/]
Well, I apologize for the novel. One more question - are any of the rivers/streams in that area fishable at that time. I've heard conflicting things, as some have said they typically are at that time, and other told me to expect them to be roaring and to only fish the lakes.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!!!
