IF you are looking for big brook trout, Mcgath Lake is widely considered one of the best bets for a trophy. It is also the furthest from the Salt Lake area and is in the vicinity of some other pretty good lakes....I would also consider fishing the Barker Lakes area. In the immediate vicinity of the Barkers, brook trout are found in Upper Barker, Flat Lake, Yellow Lake, Blue Lake, and Joe Lay Reservoir. You may also find a stray trophy in Dougherty Basin, but these fish are not too common and Dougherty is closed until July because of cutthroat spawning and it being a brood lake.
Although Mcgath is a lot of people's favorite for big brookies, I would personally recommend you hit the Barkers area just for more options.
