Kokanee @ Fish Lake Utah , fishing Kokanee Salmon, Rainbow trout US. Forest Service

So we headed south down I-15 Saturday morning on our way camping to Fish Lake, UT. We went down there for a three day fishing/camping trip and to tour the Pando Forest. This is a high mountain lake, with the elevation of 8,900 ft. As soon as we started approaching the steep climb, you could see the desert quickly turn to beautiful Aspen and pine forest and you could feel the temp. drop nicely. Our camp sight was surrounded by a beautiful grove of Aspens mixed with sagebrush and pine trees. At Doctor Creek, Mackinaw, and Bowery Haven Campgrounds right by the lake, camp sights can be reserved but they also have quite a few that are first come first serve. There is also lodging at three private resorts, the Lakeside Resort, the Bowery Haven Resort and Fish Lake Lodge offering camping and fishing supplies, RV parks with hook-ups, cabin and boat rentals, limited groceries, dining facilities, laundromats and showers. They offer a variety of activities including fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, picnicking, wildlife viewing, scenic byway,
and photography.
Twin Creeks is a really cool day use picnic area that has a great boardwalk where you can see the fish swimming around. The Pando Forest is really amazing. It spans over 106 acres. It is the largest single living organism, weighing nearly 13 million pounds. Pando is an aspen clone that originated from a single seed. The exact age of the clone and it's root system is said to be difficult to calculate but is estimated to have started at the end of the ice age. Some trees currently in the stand are over 130 years old.
Fish Lake was such a great place to get away and spend family time . We had so much fun fishing. We caught so many Kokanee Salmon, loads of Rainbow Trout and even a Splake. It's a beautiful lake with beautiful clean water. It was like going back in time.
