Upper Weber

A friend of mine had his last opportunity to do some good Utah fly fishing before heading off to dental school in Wisconsin. Apparently, I'm the go-to guy for last minute fly fishing trips since I can get away fairly easily. Our destination: Upper Weber near Oakley. We could have used more clouds and less wind, but it was a fun outing. Wading the river was pretty tough with how slick the rocks were, and Ryan took a spill more than once. (Thanks to my superior athletic ability and sure-footedness, and my huge muscles, I was able to avoid falling in).

There were plenty of cuttthroat ready to take some big dries, and Ryan's random hookups with two whitefish. The weird thing was the absolutely 0 browns landed... All in all a fun trip to a section of river I'd never really fished, and a good chance to get a final outing with one of my more frequent fishing partners... I guess we're limited to fishing holiday vacations now.

Sorry for the lack of pictures (again). I'm headed up to the Wind Rivers in a week, and I promise to take the camera...

In the Beginning

Well,

This blog thing has caught my attention, more by forcible immersion in the blogger atmosphere than anything else. My wife has the constant need to see what her friends are doing by "blog surfing". Shortly thereafter, I was shown a blog dedicated to the only thing that could make me appreciate this "blogger" lifestyle: Fly Fishing.

So, here it is, the first official fly fishing post of my life. I'll fish for just about anything, and prefer to avoid the crowds that swarm on the Provo. I rarely take pictures of my fishing adventures; I seem to have the knack for winding up well over chest deep on just about every fishing trip I take. Countless cell phones have fallen victim to the raging waters of the Weber, Provo, Little Dell Reservoir, and Mantua... One day I'll have a waterproof cell phone that floats...

Hopefully you find my posts entertaining, and possibly informative. Suggestions are always welcome.
