I understand that some people are secretive, but that is the case with all lakes. I see nice fish posted from all over Utah... I think the biggest reason you don't see more pictures of them at Scofield is that it is an extremely under-utilized resource.
I just can't understand why people would go to a lake like this and fish for stunted cutts and chubs...doesn't that get boring? The whole reason to manage the lake the way it is is to ignore those fish and try for something huge.

People will start complaining that all they catch is chubs and small, stunted trout. Sad
story, when all they had to do was get rid of the worms and tiny ice jigs and fish a 5"-6" tube jig - they could catch the fish of their lifetime.

I honestly wasn't trying to start a debate on Scofield and how it is managed that has happened half a dozen times here over the past few years. I just would like to go there and target some big tigers but I'm wondering if the drive down is worth it (from WY). All I see is reports of chubs and stunted trout makes me wonder if the big tigers are in there, but I know they are... you just won't catch many on 4lb test line and a wax worm[
