What the heck?! - flygoddess - 08-16-2009 Reading about HFT catching the Grayling and the upper Provo / Uinta's got me thinking about hitting it this weekend. Have an Annual pass and everything. So off we go. No waders, no tubes, so I am thinking the rivers. We get up to Washington and Hubby said, let's go. Well we had Baxter with us and I knew he was going to love all these trees. It seemed like it took forever to get there then walking forever....I WANNA FISH!!! Don't get me wrong, I loved the walking through the trees and all that, it's just...I WANNA FISH!!!![laugh] I was getting cranky and then to top it off, I had my bamboo and my 10' TFO (Thinking it would be a nice edge on the shore fishing.) in my hand while walking through the forest. I look up and the top section of the TFO was gone. Okay...DO NOT WANT TO BE AROUND ME AT THIS POINT!!!![mad] Hubby and Baxter backtracked and found it. Well now we are dealing with COLD! and wind in the face. I was not quite dressed for the 8,000 foot more or less elevation. I decided to give it my best and calm down. Tied on a big dry like a Tarantula. Rolled it on out there and a couple of good slams on the big dry. So I attached a 20" dropper with a Modified PT. Rolled it on out and BAM on the nymph: TIGER TROUT Rolled it out again and BAM! A BROOKIE: Rolled it out again and BAM! A RAINBOW: Okay, I am a little freak about now and thinking what a killer fly. Cast out one more time and this IS the forth cast with the Nymph.....BAM!! GRAYLING: CRAZY!!!! Caught more Rainbow and Brookies but had to time it between wind gusts even one on the big old Dry fuzzy: Besides being very cold and wind in the face...it turned out to be a pretty great day. Four Casts...Four different Species. FG [signature] Re: [flygoddess] What the heck?! - fishing4thehog - 08-17-2009 Well im glad to hear it all worked out.. Thanks [signature] Re: [flygoddess] What the heck?! - LordoftheFlies - 08-18-2009 It sounds like you were rewarded well for braving the conditions. That's a tiger in the first pic, correct? [signature] Re: [LordoftheFlies] What the heck?! - flygoddess - 08-18-2009 Yes it is. The only species I think I missed was the Albino swimming around in front of us. If it wasn't so cold, I would have switched flies for the Albino, but that Gun Slinger NYMPH is a keeper! Not a very good picture of the Tiger (hubby didn't realize the lens cap was still on for first shot) Here is a little better [signature] Re: [flygoddess] What the heck?! - HFT - 08-20-2009 Dang Girl!! Can you say : GRAND SLAM + ONE I forgot to mention sometimes the weather is unpredictable in the Uinta's[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] What the heck?! - gstott - 08-20-2009 Gotta love when that happens. Last month when I was up in Wyoming I scored a small laker, a rainbow, a nice 15" brookie, and then a splake all in a row. I love it. [signature]
