{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Utah

Abbie, I grew up in Utah and return most summers.

If you want grayling, I can recommend strenuous hike-into spots that would be pretty much guarantees.  But that sounds like more of a time commitment than you can make.

If you want drive-to spots for grayling, Smith-Morehouse is about 60 miles away.  It is a very popular campground and lake, but you should find room to fish.  Along with grayling, it has Bonneville cutts, rainbows, tiger trout, kokanee.  https://www.recreation.gov/camping/smith-and-morehouse/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70139

I think you'd have no trouble finding fish--couldn't guarantee a grayling, though, but you're at least in water that has them.

If you are willing to spend a long day with maybe a 4-hour hike in then out, I can get you into grayling.

Another option is the fishing in the Uinta Mountains picking one of dozens of lakes around the Mirror Lake Highway.  I sent someone else on the board there--he drove to Mirror Lake, found plenty of fish and lots of people.  Drive-to lakes with grayling include Trial Lake and Washington Lake.  Both of these lakes also have trout.

In those mountain lakes, grayling generally cruise fairly near the shore line.  A size 16 or, better yet, 18 dark dry fly placed in their path is generally poetry.

Hey group! So in August I am taking a trip to fish the green river in Utah. We also wanted to fish around Salt Lake City for the last couple days of the trip to be closer to the airport. Haha. Any thoughts?? I heard there are grayling in the mountains??
Thanks!
