• Those who put fish on a stringer need to realize that those fish are part of the limit and cannot be released. Utah law requires that anglers keep any fish put on a stringer, since fish put on a stringer will usually die soon after release.

• Those fishing in the Uintas should also know that a pass is required to park along the Mirror Lake Highway. Anglers can purchase a day parking pass or a season parking pass at many locations near Kamas and along the highway.

• Mosquitoes can be a major nuisance, so take along bug spray.

• Weather in the Uintas can change in an instant, so be prepared for all kinds of conditions.

• Many deer, elk, moose and livestock live along the highway, so drive carefully.

• Electric motors can now be used on Lost Lake, Mirror Lake, Trial Lake and Washington Lake, which provides an even greater fishing opportunity for those with small boats or float tubes.

The Mirror Lake Highway is one of those family destinations that provides fishing, camping and sight seeing.

For information about campgrounds along the highway or for other U.S. Forest Service information, call the Kamas Ranger District at 435-783-4338.
