How do these lakes hold up with respect to fly fishing during the heat of summer.
Normally when the heat in the Valley really gets cranking I head for the Uintas. In the 8,000 to 10,000 feet (and higher) range the waters in the shallow, feeding zones stay cold throughout the summer. Trout stay readily "reachable" with fly gear.
Those lakes in the 5,700 to 7,600 feet range though... can they still be targeted with conventional fly gear through Jul/Aug? These would be your Strawberry, Scofield, Lost Creek, East Canyon, others.
