My dad took me to Alta when I was a kid so I thought I would pass the experience on to mine. Got to the lake Friday at 9:30am and set up camp. Didn't get much fishing in on Friday. Too busy teaching the kids, fixing birds nests and tying line. Saturday as better. Found the best times to fish were 5-8am with 6am being the hottest, and about 3-6pm. Anywhere along the bank is good but the best seems to be to the far left and right where there are poll holders set up along the bank. Stay away from the rocks just up the road from the park, tried there twice and didn't even get a bite. We heard they were biting on chartreuse power bait and eggs, but we had better luck with the rainbow bait and eggs. This was my kids first time fishing and they each caught 2 fish. We decided to fish for an hour before we left on Sunday and that was when my daughter caught the biggest fish of all, a whopping 15 1/2 inches. All the fish we caught were relly good size 9-11 inches, but that one was the icing on the cake. We all had an excellent time. The fishing was hot, the lake was beautiful and I hope to come back soon and for years to come.
