James, Dad, Ammon, and I on Eagle Lake

Map of the Sixlakes Property

In June my Dad and two of my three brothers joined me at the Eagle Cabin on SixLakesUtah near Altamont, Utah for two days of flyfishing, feasting, and fun.  We had originally planned the trip for last fall, but James' Father-in-Law, Joe Routt passed away unexpectedly and so we had to cancel the trip and reschedule for this year in June.  To the credit of the SixLakes Property, they did not take my reservation fee despite our last-minute cancellation last fall.  Since I had paid for the whole trip last year, it almost felt like it was free this year because the money was already spent out of last year's budget.

Aaron was not able to join us because he and Amy had already scheduled a vacation at the same time.  Aaron was also recently called into his ward bishopric, making it doubly difficult for him to get away on the weekend.

The fishing was amazing.  I caught huge Rainbow trout from Meadow Lake and Loon Lake.  We all caught small rainbows from Totem Lake, and we caught a mixture of rainbows, brown, and tiger trout from Eagle lake and Duck Lake.

For any considering a family flyfishing trip or a guys weekend away, I highly reccomend the SixLakes property.  It is in a beautiful setting and the cabins are more than comfortable.  We enjoyed the fishing, horse shoes, rifle shooting, jogging on the country roads surrounding the property, and lots of great BBQing.
