I’m finally getting my photos from my trip to Nephi. I had a great time fishing the stream up nephi canyon. That was some of the toughest “guerilla” fishing I have done in a long time. I waded the stream, thinking I could just walk up the center of it, but it kept closing up and clogged with brush. Lots of spider and mosquitos. Some spots were so tight I had to crawl on my hands and knees in the water. I worked hard for those fish. There were lots of browns in the 6-10” range, just begging to get caught. All in all It was a great fishing trip with lots of catching. Chicken.
Those are some nice looking browns. I love that little river. Did you fish the stream on the main road or up the canyon towards the nebo loop road?
With those red spots they look a wee bit more like brookies than browns.
Brookies have a dark background with the lighter colored spots and also they have the worming pattern on the backs. Those fishies are brownyies for sure…
Yeah those are definitely browns. That first one is BEAUTIFUL with the red spot on the fin back near the tail. FANTASTIC!
I fished the section above the small “dam” in the main canyon until I ran out of time and energy( about 3/4 of a mile. It took me 3 hours to get that far. Next time I need to take a machete or something. Carp punisher…they are definately browns. I think that water would be too warm for brookies. Chicken.
I am glad to see that they are still i there.I used to catch some up to 21 inches in the holes.
Nice looking little Brownskies, they have good color. I havent fished that creek since I was a kid (more years than I’d care to admit). Great to see there is still a reason to wander up that creek without a paddle!
