Do Golden Trout Still Exist in this Uinta Lake?

I set out today to look for Golden Trout. There are only a few places in Utah where you can catch them. However, I fear their numbers have dwindled in this once popular lake.

Good to know! I was planning on hiking in there sometime soon to try and get my first golden trout. Might be better to hold off for now. Thanks for the info!

Yes, there are surely still Goldens in there. My very first golden trout was from there BEFORE the DWR was able to procure GT eggs and stock them again. My golden was a wild relic from a population that hadn't been stocked for decades. I guarantee they are in there, in catchable quantities. They are a spring/early summer spawner, so near the inlets and outlet are where you'd want to focus your efforts to find them at this time of year.

I caught my 1st Golden there. That was about 20 years ago, I think. Its been a while.

I was hoping to get mine, but that may be very hard to do at that lake

Great video! Just moved to Utah and I’m looking for some good spots to fly fish at! If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to know what lake this is to try it out! No worries if you’d rather not share!

I would, but people get mad. A great resource is the Utah DWR interactive fishing map. There you can research by species and find which lakes have specific trout. Do a quick search on the web too. You are welcome to come with me on any trips too

Me and my girlfriend were up there around the same time as you guys. Went for our first Goldens and only caught alot of Brookies. not convinced there is any Goldens left in there.
