Been far to long since we roamed the North slope. Whitney was calling us. Took a break from moving and remodeling to take Cookie to her favorite spot in the Uinta's (Whitney) for a picnic and some fishing
Location - Whitney on the North slope of the Uinta's
Condition - mid day (not optimal), brezzey and warm
It had been hit hard over the Father's day weekend. We passed lots of RVs headed out and many staying. Still we found a spot up near the inlet side to have a nice picnic and toss in a line for a minute. We always have a contest when we go to Whitney. This time Cookie used her garlic green powerbait and I threw steel in gold and silver colors (on this trip Jakes , Superdupers and meps) .
For mid-day the fishing was still pretty good. Normally we get more tigers out of Whitney, but rainbows and some with nice size, dominated the catch this time (no cuts)
June is such a great time to fish Utah (any time is a great time, but June can be special). Hard to decide where and what to chase, but you just have to toss in some good runs to the mountains to catch a break from the heat, and hit those lakes and streams. I know we will be back soon. Whiskey Island graying are calling as are those amazing colored brookies - see ya there
Video attached - I enjoy filming up in mountains - such a great setting for film

Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew
