[quote wormandbobber]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.
Here is some more information:

If you want more information, just let me know![/quote]Why don't you just kick me in the twins and set me on fire? Are you purposely pushing my buttons? I know it's public info and all you Heps think pressure on Boulder is no issue but is nothing sacred anymore? How about letting folks get their info the 'ole' fashioned way. By earning it! Sorry I'm so damned passionate but throwing this info out is just plain wrong. The locales are in plain sight on the stocking reports and maps. Leave a tiny bit of effort due on the part of the angler. Hopefully only me and about 6 other people pay attention to this post about brook trout.
I doubt it though.
Guess I'm going to Wyoming.
