Daughter and I have never fished for brookies. Anyone know of a place to get them, either ice fishing or stream fishing? Hopefully within a couple hours drive of SLC area...
Don't own skis or snowshoes, or a snowmobile...and my car doesn't have 4wd. Is it too late this year to find any, with those restrictions?
Would love to check another fish species off our goal list. [cool] Any thoughts or insight very gratefully welcomed!

There are several places you can find them but it will depend on how much snow there is up there right now. With the lack of snow down here, there is a chance you can get to them but they are at some of the higher elevations. I'll send you a PM to a couple of local streams that have them.

I'd try Beaver Creek or the Provo up Mirror Lake highway from Kamas a bit. Might have to walk through some snow and I imagine parts of it are frozen. Probably enough open water to pick up some. If someone was some lower elevation spots I'd try those first.

I've also had good luck for brookies down in southern utah including around the boulder mountain area. some of which should still be easily accesible, but the biggest problem with that is the drive down there... it's well outside the time limit you described, but if you are in a hurry before the end of the year maybe it's worth it? hope that helps! good luck!

Hi Fishfighter,
Thanks so much for that insight. I'd heard that about the Boulder Mountain area. We want to get down there but won't be able to do an overnight trip any time soon--short on funds, ya know how it goes. We'll do it eventually but probably not until we get our tax return back or something. Thanks for the info!
