iCE oFF

April is a great month to Fly Fish in Utah. I love fishing Ice off. It was a great day for catching as the ice was retreating at a local stillwater. The ice is going fast and the catching should be pretty good for another week or so. We caught Rainbows, Tiger trout and Crayfish. It was not as fast fishing as last year but we still managed a few doubles and too many fish to count.

I don't know how but little brother talked me into hitting the lower Provo. As always with this stream I had to resort to the old basketball skills of boxing people out and flaring elbows. Once we were able to establish position on a good run the fishing was constant for chunky rainbows and browns.

Just a bunch of pics from various trips this month

not exactly BIG FISH FRIDAY

It was supposed to be BIG FISH FRIDAY, but we got out the door late and had to change our destination. We decided to hit the old standby Strawberry. It was unusually slow so we did not stay too long. I did manage to get a few on Stout’s version of Larry T's wiggle bug.

On the way home we hit the MP, it was teaming with chunky little fall spawn rainbows. Throw in a brown here and there and it equaled a fun day on the water.

Fly Rod Mac

I woke up very early to hit Bear Lake with Brent. Brent is the scientist and he puts in a lot of time and study into finding out how to catch these things with the fly rod. It is safe to say that he has it figured out. Halloween morning was slow and this was the only Mac caught.

I have been getting out on short mini trips: Strawberry one morning and the Weber Horseshoe to name a few. G-ville has been good to me as well. Here are just a few pics.
