Home base for a few days
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...Render(50).jpg
First Salmonfly hatch I've seen on the Ogden in 4 years. Fun few days throwing BLTs and chubbys a month or so before typical hopper season starts. Hopefully a sign of better things to come.
What Happened to Utah's Salmonfly?

No pics so it didn't happen but had perhaps my greatest day of fishing today. Fished a new stream and was treated to a large caddis hatch in the early evening. Landed my two biggest rainbows ever within 15 mins of each other. Both were in the 20"+ range and had superb color. Plenty of smaller browns and a few brookies mixed in as well. It seemed like I was hooking up every other cast. I spotted the biggest brown I have ever seen while walking back to my car and am gonna try to stalk him tomorrow night. Pics to come hopefully.
Got one on the Ladyfishhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fe1fb41d74.jpg

The thread Is killing it this year! Keep the stoke coming everyone!
The little boat opens up some awesome water for sure! We had a fun weekend exploring some new to us stretches.

While all hell was breaking loose here yesterday with epic flooding, I managed to find a nice one in the high water before mandatory evacuation from my camp spot.

Rivers are on hold here for a bit. However, plenty of stillwaters nearby to keep your attention.

Swimmy those browns are beautiful! Hope everyone is staying safe up there. I’ll be in the area early July and hoping to get out a bit.
Been out and about closer to home lately…

sorry i've been a bit absent from the board lately. life and all.
the middle fork fell thru but i still managed to catch the river bug on the green
special thanks to sfb and toph for being such phenomenal people and being so inclusive
Great stoke. Looks like a blast. Love the crushed pucks in the PFD mesh.
tgapp: good move getting out with SFB. You will learn an incredible amount hanging out with him. I thought I was a HUGE fly fisherman until I got in a boat with SFB. Dude takes fly fishing to the next level.

There is a backpack we've done the past few years and catch cutthroat that no doubt have never seen a fly.Quote:

OP of this thread haz roolz against “hotspotting”, and in this case for very good reason. State DNR website officially says there are no Muskys in River X. But state record size Muskys have been caught in it, but all locals are sworn to secrecy. I spoke to a DNR guy at the boat ramp and he chuckled and said “as long as you locals keep it quiet, we will still officially deny it. But as soon as you guys start posting pics online or in the paper, or putting pics up at the bait shop, you will force us to acknowledge it.”Quote:

So if you read between my lines and look up “River N” on the DNR website, you will have your answer.
River X is about 150 miles long, and only about a 20 mile stretch seem to have Muskys. Fortunately for me, it’s right where I live. We put in about a mile from my island, and took out about 3 miles from my Mom’s. You can check with Djongo about my distance measuring skillz.
They call Muskys “The Fish Of 10,000 Casts”, but I had a violent strike on my 4th cast of the day. Over the course of the day, we sighted roughly 25, had about 15 strikes, had 2 get away (using barbless hooks) and netted that one. Biggest fish I’ve ever caught in my life. By far. Teeth like a piranha. I broke Nick’s 12wt rod in half. Unreal how much fun I had last week.
Hey, speaking of reminiscing, back this spring I took a tour of the old Hardscrabble Ski Area near Rice Lake and posted pics in the Midwest Stoke thread. I was surprised you did not comment on it. I realize now you were over at Euro-BBI when I made that post. Go check it out.

Still some fishable rivers over this way but I've been cruising lakes and reservoirs with Walter. Dead troller battery meant less water covered this day. Walter didn't care.Attachment 419145
