Stillwater

me and matt drove over to the lake and we were certainly hoping for more. couple a couple fish each and missed a few. the crawdads were active at least

Another option

Me and matt drove over to the ranch that i have access on. it was still a little high so we drove another hour and a half to finally find some fishable water. higher up on the stream the water was clear and much smaller. a storm was brewing but stayed off of us till we were about 20 min on the road heading home. i wanted to throw dries but the weather just wasnt dry conducive. i did manage one eat on a cicada but that fish was quickly unpinned. streamers were the ticket for some cutties and browns

Found a little love

Me and my daughter took a drive over to the res. the water is up a bit compared to normal for me. missed a few fish on streamers, missed a couple fish on a mouse but did at least land 4 decent cutts

First hike of the year

Took 2 of my daughters for a short trip up in the Uintas. the hike was pleasant but the fishing was unimpressive. caught a few small brookies. i usually fish this lake in the fall which it fishes great then. this was more for the short hike and just to get outdoors

Caught a few

Last week i went out at o'dark thirty to beat the masses. fished for about 3 hrs and landed a 4 fish. a

nice little cutt and my last run produced a thick brown

After work

myself and matt hit a short section after work. matt got a few and i got the old skunkola. we also saw a snake snarfing down a sculpin

An absolutely amazing day

Matt has permission to fish a nice little stream that flows into a semi local reservoir and had invited me to join him. ive fished water coming out of the res but not the water flowing in. it absolutely did not disappoint. numerous bugs were hatching, caddis, mayflies and cicadas. the river is full of pocket water with some open flats, tight spaces that required no shortage of bow and arrow casting. we caught cutts, cuttbows and browns. this creek at times contains some exceptionally large fish, pushing the 30" mark. we took several browns that were 18-19 inches and most fish were in the 15-17 inch range. it was an all day dry fly affair. beetles, hoppers, stimi's and of course a purple haze. aside from being a bit breezy at times, the weather was pretty damn perfect. i dont know if i'll have a more kick ass day the rest of the year. as a bonus, we ran into a rattler on the side of the dirt road on the way out.
