Vets day

I had today off due to veterans day so like almost every year i went fishing on this day. on the way up i saw some turkey had a nice little 4 point muley cross the road in front of me and got held up by a sheep traffic jam.  the weather was great but the fishing was slow. it was still an enjoyable 3 hours.

Me and Alanna

I took ali into the mountains this weekend hoping the lakes didnt have ice yet. we couldnt have asked for better november weather and there was no ice at all, but a slight trace of snow. we fished parts of 4 lakes that are in the immediate area and i caught fish out of 3 of them. all brookies today including some decent ones. ali even landed a couple.

The Uintas

I was able to drag my son Austin to the mountains for a little lake fishing. i love being in the uintas in the fall, it is so beautiful. the weather was wishy washy as it usually is during the fall. austin is not a fly guy and had yet to catch a fish in utah so i was praying that he'd at least catch one. well in the first hour he was up 3 to 1 on me and he ended up with  grayling. we were both pretty damn stoked. plus he also got to practice his driving while we were up there on the dirt roads.

Elsewhere

Me and jake headed out at the ass crack of dawn, we fished a smaller river first but it was slow and then we moved over to the bigger water and it proved to be slow as well. between the 2 waters it was a 4 fish day between us.

A visit from the pacific northwest

Brian Chou was in utah for a conference of some sort and like every year at this time he wanted to get out and see if he could get into some fish. unfortunately this time he was here late into october, wich is not a very good time for the browns around here since they are gearing up for the spawn. i told him not to expect much be we'd see if we could find some wiling to eat a streamer. we only saw one redd and no fish on it in the first section of water that we fished but we still couldnt find the fish. i managed 2 but that was it. after a lunch break we changed waters and changed flies, from streamers to mice. we got more action on the mouse but we couldnt find the big browns or the cutts. again i managed 2 fish and that was it. i was not a very good guide this trip but thats how it goes sometimes.

2 timer

this morning i went out before work and fished a little piece that i only hit once this year, i threw streamers but only moved 2 fish. after work i caught the last hour of light and tried my luck with a mouse pattern. i had 8 boils but no eats. its getting down to the last week or two before things shut down for the spawn. will be time to go chase rainbows instead.
