I found my new favorite fishing hole tonight. I was just below Uppers Falls Park in Provo Canyon. I got there later in the evening, around 7:45 p.m. and was fishing with a lighter colored sow bug and a pheasant tail nymph as a dropper. I caught 3 brown trout in an hour. Just as the sun was going down they started rising because of a caddis hatch. I'll have to remember that for next time.






Provo River Mid-Summer Fishing

Great coloration on this beautiful brown

What kind of plants are these?

I am new to gardening and have just got my hands on a few pots with plants already in them. I don't know what they are and need help in identifying them. Could some one help me out, thanks.
There appear to be two types of plants in the picture about and just one below.

Last Saturday I went on a fishing trip to Boulder Mtn. area in Southern Utah. My first time float tubing I pulled this beautiful colorado cutthroat out of Blind Lake.

We hiked just a little further to Fish Creek Lake and caught my first Tiger Trout. The spot pattern doesn't really show up very well in this pic but I assure you it is a tiger.



Next,located in Wayne County, Utah; in between Fish Lake and Johnson Valley Reservoir, is a small creek called Lake Creek. I was fishing it the other day (6-26-10) and caught a small fish. I couldn't identify what kind of fish it was then or since. Could someone please help me out in identifying it? Thanks.












Deer Creek Reservoir Ice Fishing (2-6-10)

(Below) Aaron was the first one out of the priests to catch something. It was a rainbow caught at 9:30.



Michael with a nice rainbow caught just before we left at about 11:30 a.m.

Video of catch



Old skate footie

My cousin Dave did all the editing of the clip. It is mostly old footie except near the end, that was filmed this last sumer. It isn't much, mostly just having fun.


Deer Creek Reservoir (1-16-10)

Fog covered Deer Creek Reservoir in the morning.

To be honest the fishing was slow; however, we found that using mill worms and powerbait attractant seemed to work the best. The depth was about 15-25 ft deep. I was fishing about 5-8 ft off the bottom. I didn't have to jig at all, I just waited to see a good strike before setting the hook.








Provo River (09-15-09)

All these fish were caught in the evening using a pheasant tail nymph.

Uintas (08-29-09)

We got to our campsite just a the sun set. As we were setting up our tent. We heard something moving around not even 15 feet from were we were. We took a picture and found that it was a deer, which eased our minds.
We camped at Wilder Lake. This was bringing one in.

Our friendly deer caught up with us the next mourning.

Below is a rudementry shelter my brother and I had to build a few years ago because we were caught in a snow storm, away from our camp, in the middle of July.

Uintas (08-29-09)

This was a small stream filled with brookies. The narrowness of it made it a challenge putting my fly right where it needed to be without startling any fish. It was productive, practically any fly worked. I loved it up there! Can't wait to go back.
Here is a brook trout caught out of Jordan Lake. This is the typical size to expect out of Jordan. This was the first time that I had packed my fly rod into the Uintas. It proved to be better than using my spinning rod. Poor Court didn't catch a thing with it, were I caught on the order of twenty that.
Here is a shot from a ridge above Jordan Lake.
This catch was the highlight of the trip and was pulled out of Le Cante Lake. It is a Arctic Grayling. I love catching species I've never caught before. They are pretty fish with large dorsal fins.

Lake Powell 08-15-06

This was a catfish caught after midnight at Lake Powell. The only reason I was fishing this late was because a storm arose and we couldn't make it back to the marina. We ended up sleeping in the boat in a protective cove. I decided to try out the spot. I threw some lunch meat on a hook and casted it out into the water, directly off the back of the boat. After catching this one I cast out again before I went to sleep. I woke to find that my rod was missing. Luckily as I waded out from shore I felt the line as my foot brushed up against it. Surprisingly there was another catfish on and was able to retrieve my pole.
