Most of the high Uintas wilderness trails are open and visitors can expect to hike from 10 to 15 miles into the back country with dry conditions. All tributaries to Lake are closed through 6 a.m. July 11. of Wildlife Resources, has released statewide fishing information.

Best fishing has been on the east shore of Cisco Beach along the rock pile for cutthroat and lake trout. Wildlife Division recommends trolling at 10-3- 0 feet for cutthroats. There is a $3 fee for using state park facilities. Blacksmith Fork Good fishing conditions. Fair for taking brown trout. There are also some good fishing opportunities in tributaries to this river.

Anglers fishing from boats and those using spinners have had better success than shore and bait fishermen. The reservoir was stocked with 21,000 catchable rainbow trout just before the opener on Memorial Day weekend. Almost a half million fish have been planted since the treatment last fall. Fish size and angler success is expected to improve. Colorado River Water is extraordinarily high and catfishing has dropped off. Fishing should improve in June and July when runoff subsides.
