Sorry, the Boulder Mtn. is in southern Utah just west of Capital Reef and north of Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument. The area loosely referred to as the Boulder Mtn. is made up of the Aquarius Plateau, the Escalante Mtns, the Griffing Top, etc... You can access the area either through Loa or Teasdale in Wayne county if you are coming from the north, or there are several roads that take you up from Hwy 12 out of Escalante and Boulder. Depending on your definiition of a lake there are hundreds of little pools of water some no more than ten feet deep or less. It has long been known as a trophy brook trout fishery but they have started planting other species such as tiger trout, splake, greyling, and cutthroats for a variety of reasons on of the major reasons being that in some lakes the brookies were so succesful spawning that the population stunted and many lakes had large numbers of stunted fish. Any internet inquiry will garner you numerous outfitters that provide guided fishing trips or contact the Escalante or Teasdale Ranger disctrict of the Dixie National Forest for maps and specifics about the area. Hopefully this is helpful.
