This is from an earlier post I sent to another fisher heading to the Gold Lakes in June. Hopefully this helps. Lots of stillwater to hike into all around that area and they pretty much all hold fish.
Post your results when you get back.

Windknots is correct, there's definitely fish to be had in Sardine Lake. Had a outstanding two days last fall with a pontoon boat catching Sardine's sizable brookies (up to 16") and a few 'bows (one at 18") on para adams with a partridge soft hackle dropper. A brown bh woolly bugger enticed them as well (no sink-tip was used, could be different now). Basically fish almost every cast. Beautiful spawning colors too in the fall. Get on the lake early and later in the day, though as Windknots says, you'll see risers throughout the day. There is a small creek that comes into the lake on the right, 3/4's of the way toward the rocky end of the lake. You'll hear it before you can see it. It's covered with willows and trees at the inlet. Station yourself there, off shore, and cast toward it. Nice weeds and submerged rocks which will hold fish. If you see lots of damsel flies in tendril stages (dun), start tossing the nymph (three strips, pause, three strips, pause, etc.). If they're on the move, the fish will take them eagerly. But they head toward shore, so cast away from shore and strip accordingly.
Also, the the little creek you cross over the bridge when you turn off Gold Lakes road toward Sardine has a dirt road on your right which you can head up and park. Then walk toward the creek and fish up from there. Lots of little guys, but you will be surprised in the late afternoon/early evening what might be feeding.
Well thanks for the input guys. Problem is I wasn't able to get back to my computer before I took off. So I had no luck with dries on the lake but caught plenty of these little guys on the river.
