I, too, spent the weekend of the 4th in the Sun Lakes area. Didn't get down to Blue, but I did spend three days on Deep Lake, which is behind Park and Dry Falls further into the canyonlands.

I tried a bottom bouncer with weddingring and worm and caught several tiny carp. Switched to powerbait on the weddingring and caught a tiny trout. I did see a few guys bank fishing with a couple of decent pan-sized trout, though.

The thing about Deep Lake was is was BEAUTIFUL. I mean gorgeous. There were a number of great bank fishing spots, the boat launch was good and the scenery and wildlife were spectacular. I sat in my little Portabote, tapped my way along the bottom, and listened to the birds chirp for hours.

What I want to know is, when can you catch decent fish out of there?
