Below was fishing Pole Creek lake for stocked rainbows. We fished the inlet and caught a bunch on a tan foam ant pattern.
Warning Graphic! At camp this huge chipmunk kept getting into our food, so we pulled out the old BB gun and put an end to that problem.
We followed the creek out of pole creek about 3/4 of a mile and fished this meadow area for little cutts and a few rainbows that sneak out of the lake.
After catching a bunch of little cutts, a 10 to 12 inch rainbow feels like a monster on the stream.
Below is a typical cutt throat from the stream with beautiful spots.
A lot of times we wander around the mountains to find new areas. One day after wake boarding on the Gorge with my friend Chad, we found a cool little stream that is up by spirit lake. Of course nothing big in here, but these are always fun to fish for small cutts.
One night we took the family and Jace's friend Jordan to a small stocked lake called the moose ponds. This lake is right off the road as you are going around flamming gorge.
The fishing is crazy here, with a fish on just about every cast. There are stocked rainbow here that avg around 8-10 inches.

Below is Hacking Lake. Every once in a while a lake will skunk us, which this lake did. I am told that brooks and rainbows live here, but I would not know.
Yesterday I went to go fish Paul Lake, which is suppose to have fat brook trout according to one of my patients and a book that I read. After wandering around for a mile trying to find the trail, I gave up hope and decided I would try the Kibah lakes. Someone else told me about good fishing for brook trout in these kibah lakes. When I finally got to the "trail head" I did not see any trail.
By this time I am pissed; however fortunately for me I ran into some local vernalites whom pointed the way. Below is a picture of where you start or where the trail ends. One of the guys pointed up to the bald rock face mountains and told me that the lakes sit up in that basin just over the pine top mountains. He also told me that they were headed there and I could tag along.
There is no trail to these lakes and once you get over the pine ridge you have a nasty boulder field to cross.
Below is Kevin Dickson, who was one of the football coaches here in Vernal, and a friendly guide to the lakes for me.
Fat brook with a fat albert in his mouth. These fish were not picky at all. I fished ants, hoppers, humpys, royal wolffs, and a scud and caught several fish with each fly. Coach dickson used a flat silver lure with red dotts, and blake the other guy used a bubble and a royal coachman.
This is the first first view of the lake after the boulder field. There are 4 lakes that sit in this basin and three have fish. According the the book they had one of the lakes have fat brooks. This lake had a bunch of brookies that ranged from 6-13 inches. 
Blake and Kevin with some of the fish they decided to take home and fry. When he gutted them they were chuck full of eggs and some were getting the orange bellies that come when they spawn.
Now that I have caught a lot of little fish, fall is just around the corner and it is time to start catching pigs again!
