3 lbs is about max (normally) There are always those odd exceptions. I've caught healthy cutts up to 20" in a small drainage in the east Uintas. Fat 18" brookies in a couple of secluded lakes. Last year we caught 2-3 lbs tigers out of east Castle lake. Whitney used to have cuttys up to 8 lbs. That changed when the forest service put in a good road. Now 14" cutts, tigers and rainbows are the norm. Bigger brookies and tigers are in the boulders due to the longer growing season. Way bigger cutts in the wind range. Having a lake where fish only successfully spawn periodically definitely helps growth.
