Thank you. I haven't been to the naturalist basin in several years but it has always been good fishing. My favorite lakes are probably Blue and Shaler. Hyatt was at one time an awesome brook trout lake that kicked out fatties. But like many lakes that produce nicer fish it is shallow and prone to winterkill. I think they gave up on Hyatt because it hasn't been stocked in years according to the Utah stock report. I would check the stocking schedule for the lakes you plan on fishing. I'd hit the ones that were stocked 4 to 6 years ago for a chance at bigger fish. Even if you don't find big fish i'm sure you'll have a good time. (www.utahfishinginfo.com/dwr/fishstockingreport.php)

@geoffreydebrito79344 жыл бұрын
I very much enjoyed the video until I watched you handle that magnificent brook trout with dry hands. Brook trout have a protective slime on their bodies that protects them from disease. To see the effect removing that slime has on a trout, see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2m5doesgbGUZtE - just wet your hands before handling and most of the slime will remain.
@TroutHowler4 жыл бұрын
We were told the same thing in college when handling fish as far as cotton gloves go. However, what that video didn't show was an example of handling fish without gloves. We handled lots of fish with out wetting our hands and didn't see those results. The professors conclusion was that you aren't removing the entire layer when handling fish with dry hands. That being said I usually fish with gloves that are designed for handling fish (ones that the mucoprotein protective layer doesn't easily stick to). I have literally caught the same fish multiple times in a favorite hole on a local stream over a two year period---five times to be exact. I know it's was the same fish due to a missing chunk of its tail fin. I'm pretty sure I did not wet my hands and by some miracle he just keeps on trucking----to each their own I suppose.

I haven't made any fly tying videos as of yet. It's a very simple fly to tie. I show the fly in my "Fly fishing for golden trout in Wyoming" video at the 15:07 mark. It's the fly in center. I tie them in various sizes but for alpine lakes I almost always use a size 12. I tie them with a Daiichi 1710 hook. The tail is made of pheasant tail. I wrap 2/3 of the shank with .25 lead wire. I use either clear or gray scud back material wrapped with 6lb test mono for the ribbing. I double wrap the dubbing over the lead. If you don't double wrap it the lead will show through after you pick the dubbing out with a pin. I may end up doing some fly tying videos since several people have asked but who knows.

@TroutHowler6 жыл бұрын
If I'm fishing the shallows I start stripping immediately-----5 inch strips at a time. If its deeper water I usually let it sink. I use both floating and sink tip line. If I'm targeting larger fish, I usually use an 8 wt with a 20 ft fast sinking tip line. My go to fly for big goldens and brook trout is that mega orange scud fished deep. This particular lake has extensive shallows so I used floating for the most part. If you're not a fly tyer, he sells flies online at richosthoff.com. I tie mine a little heavier than his. I use .25 lead wire wrapped about 2/3rds of the shank for size 12 or bigger or .15 wire for 14 and 16. The scud pattern is tied with a fairly long tail so it represents a scud or a fairy shrimp. The size 12 olive gray is a game changer. I almost always start with it. I tie it in pink and orange as well. Sometimes ill crush it with a size 12 pink but over all the olive gray is the best producer. If you're familiar with the area there's a small lake 3 1/2 miles to the north east and one the same distance to the south west that also produce nice brook trout. Those other 2 lakes are isolated and seldomly visited. The lake from this video forms almost a straight line with the other 2. I was at the one to the south west a few weeks ago and saw the biggest brook trout I have ever seen in the Uintas. It was probably close to a 5 lb fish. It was last stocked with brook trout 7 or 8 years ago which is definitely pushing their life expectancy. It has since been restocked with a different species and I caught a bunch of those but no huge brook trout unfortunately.
