Allsop Lake or 'All Slop' Lake? A weekend well spent.

Great report. Excellent pictures. My neighbors have a cabin up in that area and told me to backpack into that basin. I haven't been to dead horse lake yet either. Which trip would you do first?

The fish you caught are all cutthroat. There are some rainbow markings on your fish so I can see mix up, and to confuse things further, rainbows and cutthroats can cross bread making cutbows, but you need both fish in the same waters for that to happen.

Someone else commented on them being cutthroat too. I'm not the expert fisherman, just a hobbyist who definitely knows a brook from a tiger, but yeah...apparently there was more for me to learn between a cutthroat and a rainbow.

As for where to go first between Dead Horse and Allsop...that's a really tough one. Both have gorgeous backdrops, as do so many other lakes in other Uinta basins. It really is just a coin flip, I think. I'm not sure what variety of fish exist at Dead Horse though and never fished it when we passed by. I know it seems to be a tad bit more popular and well-known and of course serves as a nice stop for those hiking the Highline trail in late summer.

Thanks. A coin flip it is. I guess it's a win-win situation.
