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:

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:

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.

All's well that ends well. I would have been happy just to have found the rod's tip. Very nice catch of fish. No wonder you all live in Utah, as you can go fishing every day. I'm jealous to say the least. Mac and I have to go to Von's [Safeway] to get our daily catch. LOL[/size][/#008000][/font]
