camping at fairview need 2 know what lakes to fish up there

[Lonnie]

Hey Ocean I grew up in carbon county and have spent alot of hours fishing the area.I asume you have some smaller children,so here is my advice.Rig your poles with a fly and bubble set up(kids won't snag up and usually produces best fishing especially in early morning and evening)try the lakes kent mentioned,millers flat,bouldger,benches pond,the latter 2 are right off the hyway just above electric lake which by the way can be excellant on a fly and bubble just prior to dark(larger cutthroats there)You also have potters ponds between cleveland and joes valley.My favorite at that time of year is an afternoon drive south from the top of fairview canyon on skyline drive(well marked)about 15-20 miles,after you see the forest service sign to joes valley from skyline continue on for 3-5 miles and you'll come across a couple of lakes right on top of the mountain.1 is called snow lake I don't recall the other.They don,t get the publicity but can be very good.There's also a lake called blue lake down a rough road about 3 miles from these lakes which produces som good size tiger trout(don't atempt with out 4x4 though or if rain is threatening)You can also try petes hole about 3-5 miles down the joes valley road.All these lakes are good to excellant especially for kids and the scenery is 2nd to none.Keep your eye's open for deer and elk,you'll see many.Good luck,let me know If I can help,and also how you do.
