Does anyone know of good trout tourneys during the summer? I just bought a boat and plan on buying fishing gear instead of paying bills, and hitting the lakes instead of work for at least a few weeks of the summer.

The best "real" trout derbys are at Flaming Gorge. There's one in Early May (spring fling) and one in June at Buckboard. Utah just doesn't allow big tourneys for some reason.

echo throws one anually on the1st weekend of june i believe which lands on Utah free fishing day (june 5th). One day derby and its only 10 dollars to enter and pays out 500,300,200$ to top fish and 50 $ hourly prizes.
22-25 inch browns are usually the top three places.
Fun derby and the fishing is excellent.

Thanks for that info. I've never fished Flaming George but I used to live in Coalville so I think I will look into the echo tournament.
