Went back up to the High Uinitas this afternoon. Cold night had refroze the soft water but it was opening back up in several places while up there. I used a shovel to help the first spot along a bit. After losing a descent size brook trout I was surprised the first fish I landed was a foot long splake. The rest ended up being all standard High Uinitas 6 - 12 inch brookies. Fishing was a slow only catching about 8-10 fish in almost 3 hours. Only 3 small areas of open water by the time I left so I was quite limited to where I could fish. Incredibly peaceful day up there. I had a hard time leaving for family commitments. Snow is melting down real fast compared to just 5 days ago. Wouldn't be surprised if multiple lakes have open water in the next week or 2.
