Quote:[quote UTFSHR]Bottle Hollow is located west of Ft. Duchesne (East of Roosevelt) along Hwy 40.
The lake is under the jurisdiction of the tribe, so a permit is necessary.
Bottle Hollow is best known for trout, particularly Lakers. Don't get too excited though, BH doesn't produce Macs like the Gorge. There is a lake trout tourney that is held yearly.
Example of a "big" laker caught at Bottle Hollow
I always laugh when I read about the fee schedule for Ute Tribe fishing permits:
Annual Permits:
11 years and younger...................................... $15.00*
12 to 15 years of age............ ..........................$25.00*
16 to 55 years of age.........................................$30.00*
55 years of age and older................................ $25.00*
* Plus $10 conservation tag

You can purchase a 1-5 day pass for $10 each day. I always laugh, because why would anyone pay $50 for a five day pass when the average man can get a year pass for 30 bones?!

I know I'm a little late on this article, I just found it. But, to clarify....Bottle Hollow does not produce Mac's...at all !! The mac in the picture is a annual contest the Tribe has usually between Dec. and March. The Tribe will "plant" 300 to 500 mac's for a contest is usually set-up for 'through the ice only'. The mac will not survive in the summer as the water temp is too warm and the lake is not deep enough.
