Weber River and City Creek Canyon 11-20

[EvilTyeDyeTwin]

Everyone bailed on me today. Aquaman, Lonefish, TyeDye all of them were a no go this morning. Being by myself I decided to try the Weber River again. 1st cast with the Gold Blue Fox size 2 got a nice 15 inch Brown Trout. Cast after cast was brown after brown. By 1 hour I had 6 fish with many more lost. Decided to hit Rockport. Tried fishing the dam..nodda...tried fishing mid reservoir....more nodda.....tried the inlet.....even more nodda! At rockport I threw my tackle box at them and never even got a bite! On my way home I decided to try a place that I have never fished before.

Living next to City Creek Canyon for the 1st decade of my life I used to swim in the fishing holes as a kid in that canyon. 10 years later (today) I returned to rock the place. Found several waterfalls and bridge tunnels. At the 1st waterfall I watched brown trout jumping like salmon on their runs. There was no love for the gold blue fox so I switched to a silver bladed, black/grey boddied Roostertail and it was fish on...or should I say Brown on! Moved up the river and came up on a tunnel. Threw my gear in front of the tunnel and managed a small cutthroat trout. Decided to throw my gear in the tunnel and let it stall. Sure enough a 10 inch brown took the bait...or should I say spinner. Walked around fishing more holes with no results...and getting odd looks from joggers, dog walkers and mountain bikers. Maybe it was the fishing rod...maybe the hair...or maybe both? Found a great deep perfect hole and just as I was walking down to it a dog jumped into the water, ruining it for me. Went down to the bottom pond where I saw some small rising going on. Threw a couple of casts and managed another brown trout. Lost several others and felt/saw tons of bites on the spinner.

Overall I got 6 Brown Trout from the Weber. Out of City Creek I managed 3 Browns and 1 cutthroat trout. For some reason the camera was not working all that well so the picture gallery is rather limited this time. Too bad because a nice buck and doe walked right next to me on the Weber when I had my camera out.

I think most of the time you have to be just a little bit higher up to find many trout on City Creek. I know I've never seen or caught any until several hundred yards higher up. I've only caught cutts so surprised you got 3 browns.

The 1st fish I saw was a jumping brown trying to scale a water fall. Wish my camera was working better...it woulda made a great shot! I was crossing my fingers for a brookie or a monster brown...not in the cards this trip. Still I was suprised I could manage something out of that little creek.

Congratulations members. I believe I deleted more replies in one click of my mouse than I have previously deleted from one thread. I was unwilling to edit that many posts.

Twins, if you are frustrated that you aren't getting enough people stirred up and make posts like:

"Still have yet to hear the complaints from the Weber Locals. Maybe it will take a few more tips complete with FULL LIMIT HARVEST! Them browns sure are tasty!"

Quit being surprised when a thread turns ugly.

As for the rest of you, it should be obvious by now that the twins keep fish, use treble hooks, and make reports of catching less-than-trophy-size fish. I would have hoped that by now you would have learned that they don't care that this offends you and that they are not going to change.
