While the lake claims the big ones, the Green River below the dam is boasted as one of our nations finest blue ribbon trout streams. White water rapids and gorgeous canyon scenery also lend to the popularity of river rafting below the dam and hiking Little Hole National Recreation Trail. Other Fishing Opportunities Several of the campgrounds in the Uinta Mountains are located near alpine lakes which are stocked annually with trout by the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources. Varied fishing opportunities are available in the lakes, streams, and reservoirs of the Forest. Flaming Gorge Lake is open to year-round fishing, but seasons are established for streams flowing into the reservoir and for the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam.
Ice fishing is a popular pastime in the winter.
