Somewhere Out West

 Went out after work last week looking for some big fish in the Uintas.

 Great weather but the water had dropped big time. The fish we saw were deep and covered as expected. It seems the free stones will get lower and lower as summer progresses...

 Dog daze...

 We were rotating between three different set ups but the boot prints were everywhere we looked.

 Dalt hooked a few but none were brought to hand.

 Nice hike though... We covered some serious ground.

 The moon was out early.

  Looks fishy but the water is low and the fish are holed up. The only fish we hooked were on the droppers...

 Great shot 

What a difference a few weeks makes. This trip (yes skunked) reminds us that we need to take note of our calendars so we are hitting rivers in their peak condition. The fishing cycles are starting to make more sense and I see my "fishing calendar" filling up fast...

Cheers!

Low Water On The Weber

 Caught a few good ones on the Weber today.

 He had some chin balls.

 The water was very low and several of our favorite runs were dead. The fish seemed to be deep or in good cover. The shot above of Dalton shows how low it was. Still caught some but we were working hard...

New reel. This is the best shape it will ever be in so I thought I would take a shot.

This blog is a great way for me to document my days on the water with my buddies. Hopefully you find its somewhat entertaining/useful. When the outings are epic you will see more pictures and longer stories. Today though was fairly simple and straight forward. Beautiful weather, lots of walking and a few memorable fish.

Lots of Caddis, Spinners and May flies flying around. Dalt pick up a few sticks and found PMD's, worms, Sows and Stones....

Another thing worth noting was the fish count. Probably 12-13 Browns to only 2 Whitties. 

Thanks,
