Uinta Lake Grayling

[Tigru]

I hiked into a Uinta Lake on Saturday morning. I fell victim to the snooze button at 5:00 a.m. and ended waking up at 6:45 a.m. As a result I was met by a jam packed trail head parking lot when I arrived. Regretfully, I followed suit to the 10-15 other vehicles and parked alongside the road and was later greeted by a $75 parking ticket. What a freaking buzz kill! In my rush to get on the trail I didn't see the giant no parking sign.

I have some of the attachable back-pack straps for my Fish Cat float tube and hiked in the couple miles to the lake. I ended up hooking into Brookies (8) and my first ever Grayling (4). Fish were caught on Black Ants, Mosquitoes, White Buggars, Renegade Fly, and a size 0 Blue Fox Spinner. There were 2 other small groups on the Lake that later left after my being there for about 30 mins so I had the Lake to myself for most of the time.









Other than the ticket it was a great trip. There is just something pretty awesome about catching fish at 10,00 feet on a lake you hiked into with your float tube.

Ya I have got that ticket before it is RIDICULOUS. To avoid it -Just write a letter to the address on the back of ticket expressing you concern with all parking Uintas and mention that you paid your daily Rec fee which most don't and follow thru a few time by calling the # and the ticket will disappear.
