Streamers Baby!

Today was awesome, we went out with a new friend, Matt Guymon, who taught us the ropes when it comes to streamer fishing. He has a pattern he's been working on for awhile thats been tearing up the browns. We had fun watching them chase us, while we tried to coax them into hitting. We had some real bruisers trail these big articulated streamers. I did manage to get a nice tiger trout and Matt nailed some nice browns, but the biggest fish were just a little leary of smacking em. I think they're just beat down and tired from the spawn. It wasn't a high fish number day, but it was definitely a learning day. Thanks Matt for your lessons, it's much appreciated. I cant wait till these fish get fiesty again!!!

Provo Brown

Randy sight fished this guy with a midge. I fell in the river.

Utah At Last

Work called last week on Thursday seeing if I could be in Salt Lake Friday. I dropped everything in Arizona and packed the fishing gear. A couple of buddies and I hit some water Friday afternoon that I have been scoping out on Google Earth. We caught about 20 fish between the three of us and about 10 more hooked in 3 hours. It was a lot of fun, though challenging terrain.

Northwest Arizona, Silver Creek

Unfortunately the trip I was planning to the Green fell through. Luckily I was able to hit a spring creek here in Arizona. Here are a few pictures. I was mostly interested in catching an Apache Trout, which is native to Arizona. It was too bad that rainbows got in the way, but finally I ended the day with a few Apaches.

Stupid Rainbow hit my hopper. I threw it back in disgust waiting for an Apache

Look What the WEBER gave up tonight.

My biggest fish on the fly rod to date. he must have jumped 3 feet out of the water during the fight. I was so pumped, i fished this hole for three days, i knew he was there ,and i bet there is still a bigger one in there. sweet!!!!

Well this week we fished the Weber heavy, i picked up a few spawners with black buggers early in the week. Randy and i also got into some really nice fish in a hole a little lower on the river. We caught browns, tigers, cutbows, cuts, and whitefish of coarse. picked a lot of fish up on midges and egg patterns this week.

This is a beautiful kamloop I caught on Henrys fork oct. 2008. Thanks for the pic Ken.
