Uinta mountain ice fishing trip info/invite? - Flyfishinglover - 11-18-2013
Does anyone know how much of ice is on any of the uinta mountain lakes because I'm looking on the weather snowbird weather status too see how cold it's up there and for now it's down but I'm planning to hit Wednesday or Thursday if any one want to tag along I got one room in the car. Just have to split the cost of gas as well I will be still checking out on the road conditions. If they do close it because of a random storm coming it will be canceled.
PM asap.

You may have to snowmobile in now after this last storm.

I would be interested in snowmobiling in to one of the lakes. Anyone with a snowmobile interested in going in? Not sure what lakes to go try, but as far as you have to travel, I don't want to make the trip with just 1 sled. I have a Poloris 600 snowmobile and all the gear I need including a tent, heater, auger (power & hand) and vex fish finder. I would love to plan a trip if anyone is interested.

Mirror Lake Highway is still open. They do plow it to keep it open for a bit.

This was from the Utah Avalanche Center a few days ago.
"The Mirror Lake Highway is officially closed for the season. The snow pack is still thin in the Uintas but this storm was kind to the area, easily doubling the amount of snow already on the ground."

I am sure if you hit whitney you would slay. The lake is extremely low making the fish concentrated and by now a low fod source. There are some beast tigers and cuts in there. I have not atually ice fished it in years but use to do very well. I fished it this fall with friends several times and we caught a tiger that was 6.35 lbs and a 5 lb cut. Besides that we missed some other pigs and destroyed the stockers. Caught tigers, browns, cuts, and bows. Even a few sculpin on jigs. We always used custom feather and buck tail jigs on the hard deck. They really like a silver head with a white body and some red or silver flash tied in. We tipped everything with waxies or super worms. Tube jigs work great as well. White colored or a rainbow trout pattern.
