Utah Stillwaters: Tease!

Tease!

Water temp: 43* A little bit of open water. Probably should have worn neoprene instead of my breathables. The water is still too cold to bring the fish to spawn. But the water clarity was unreal! Stoked to sight fish pike!

Knee Deep!

I grew up sneaking onto Bybees' Pond, a small, privately owned pond that was residence to some very impressive LargeMouth Bass. We'd throw our Walmart, two-piece specials across the handle bars and arrive under the cover of darkness so the "REAL" residents wouldn't bother us. Later in my early teens I experimented with a fiberglass, Shakespeare fly rod on the Weber River, I was not consumed.

My in-laws gifted me a fly rod and reel a number of years later. On my first outing with the new equipment on the Ogden River I was not consumed.

Years after sneaking into Bybees' pond, I found myself attempting to throw loops at Cutthroat trout in Strawberry Reservoir, with my childhood accomplice. He was fairing much better than my self, I think I only brought two to hand.

I was CONSUMED!

Since then I have spent a large portion of my waking moments contemplating / preparing my next fix. I am not too particular about species, although I do have my favorites. My passion is fish on the fly and I have been privileged to fish diverse waters.
