: BOULDER MOUNTAINS: Fishing forecast (April through June): Most Boulder Mountain lakes that are closed during the winter will open to fishing on April 16. Check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook to see which lakes are closed to fishing through the winter (lakes are listed under individual names, not "Boulder Mountain"). Spring is one of the best times to fish on Boulder Mountain as fish wake up from winter sluggishness and feed actively. Access and ice-off starts at the lowest-elevation lakes in mid-April to early May. Lakes under the Boulder Top rim (9,000-10,000 feet) open up between mid-May and early June. The Boulder Top lakes typically aren't accessible until mid-June to early July. Consult the Boulder Mountain entry on the Fish Utah map for fishing techniques and tips. Reported by: Utah D.W.R |

About: -
Boulder Mountain is located in South Central Utah and make up half of the Aquarius Plateau.
The mountain rises to the west of Capitol Reef National Park and consists of steep slopes and cliffs with over
50,000 acres of rolling forest and meadowlands on the top. It is the highest timbered plateau in North America.
Utah Scenic Byway 12 traverses the eastern side of the mountain from Torrey through Boulder and on to Escalante.
A series of unpaved backcountry roads and jeep trails provide access to the top during the brief snow free time,
which is usually only a few months from July to September.
There are serveral small lakes and beaver ponds along the trails. The fish consist of Rainbow and Brook Trout. Several streams also contain significant fish populations and provide good
angling opportunities.
