Fishing Forum

I have been wanting to catch a Golden Trout for a few years and some recent reports got my interest going again so off I went. We made it there late Friday and all I caught were a few Brook Trout. I woke up early Saturday and caught a ton of Brookies but still no Goldens. The girlfriend and I decided to go for a hike and I took the fishing rod with me. We were going to go to a near by lake but I had to stop and cast at a few rising trout. We never left the lake cuz I was catching to many fish and it was to fun. Then all of the sudden it happened I caught a Golden and just as luck would have it the batteries on the camera went dead about twenty minutes before. Luckily it had enough juice to take one pic and that was all I needed and off it swam to be caught again. Well now I think I have caught every trout that swims in Utah. Man that feels good. By the way the camping was good but the bugs were horrible.

Here is a pic.

A Golden is the only trout in utah that i have not caught! Pretty, pretty fish. I was in the Uintas today, my god! the bugs were as bad as I can ever remember, the wet spring and summer have it perfect for them. Good on you catching a golden..

Which lake did you hit for the brookies and did you dry or wet fly?
Last time I went up going near the lakes was too much. I've never experienced such a hord of mosquitoes like that.

I caught the Brookies in the same lake as the Golden they are all small and stunted they have over populated the lake. I don't want to say the name on the forum so people don't get upset. But if you ask around or search a little it is not hard to find it.
