Horseshoe Canyon on the Weber
We hit the weber today and the Tan Soft Hackle was king, the black and grey midge were second. Randy nailed a nice cutt in a pocket against a cliff, bowslayers best today was a descent brown that fell to the soft hackle. John should have some pics of a few fish as well. We caught tons of small whitefish and cutts. John fished the honey hole and took some nice browns out of it. See you on a river.

Nice day to be out fishing.
I decided to take a trek out on the weber today. The fishing was slow, but we were lucky enough to have a pair of bald eagles watch over us as we fished. After a while I finialy landed a 12 inch brown, Man that felt good. I thought its better than going home with nothing. I worked my way up a few more holes and It finaly happend, Big fish on a bugger. He slammed it hard and I knew there was no way he was getting off not this time, then I realized I didnt have a net with me and I started to get a little nervous. At this point all I could see was the tail occationaly breaking the surface of the water. Finaly I broke his spirit and he gave up. He went 23 inches with a big old set of teeth on him. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful day on the river. You cant ask for much more than that.

South fork of the ogden
This bow was the catch of the day. He went about 16 inchesbut he was at least 2 pounds, he was so fat. It was a natural, no cut fins, but it must have eaten a rat or something. I caught a second ow much smaller , but it appeared to be natural as well. Olive hairsear 14 rainbows where lovin it in that hole.
We hit the river at about 1030 it took a while to get dialed in but once we did it was on, Hairsear and a grey midge did the trick, i got into a cool rainbow, it was about 16-17 inches but it was so fat. Plenty of browns and whitefish. This is an awsome river but you have to be prepaired for small pocket water. no hugh holes here, but the fish are great. we lost several fish that would have gone 20 inches easily. I could see that river become a regular on our rotation. Great times.
feb 20 on the weber
John and i hit the river around 100 pm today, there was someone in our normal hole so i fished the river below and john fished the opposite side of our hole. I was having a good time catching whitefish in several holes below john but soon our favorite spot opened up. The previos fisher did not have any luck but within 10 minutes i had a sweet brown to net. It went a bit over 20 and was looking really healthy. John landed a few nice browns too as well as white fish and a sucker or two. I was using a soft hackle and stone fly. John was more succesful with the trout on a barber scud. It had a red bead and was tan in color size 18 or so.

The fishing is getting good.
Got out on the weber today and was able to get into some nice fish, this one is a 20 inch cutt that took a #8 black stone. I hooked three other fish on that pattern as well. We tried a few days ago to get into the rainbows up at the inlet to echo but we missed em. our buddy got into them the day before so they are starting to move. Looks like we are also looking at a trip to the green sometime in march, cant wait.
