Just so everyone knows here is what we were using.......
I used a prince nymph, and a flying black ant as a dry fly. My twin used a nymphacator tung and a white dun as a dry fly. I also got 1 fish and lost another on a worm under a bobber. I tried a blue fox gold spinner in #1 and didn't even get a bite. For some reason I tied bad knots because I lost 3 dries to fish hitting them. On 5x tippet? Yep operator error!
At Florance I got mine on the gold blue fox spinner. In fact I had a lot of bites too.
[quote Jazzperch1]nice pretty brookies there, i have never heard of that lake but cool to know.[

Really? Oh man that lake has made covers of a few books on hiking/touring the wasatch range. It is a truly worthy place of that.
Now Blanche was the best fishing with Florance being 2nd best. Lillian is just so shallow that all the fish were rising WAY out in the middle.
The hike to these lakes is about 3.5 miles one way and a few thousand vertical feet. Start at the S Curves of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Evil Tye Dye has made the trek from Alta in the summer by hiking to mt. superior and scrammbling down the rocks to Blanche but honestly that is just for those who love punishment!
