August 4, 2009 ⋅ 20 comments

The Logan River is my “home” water (it’s the closest, but I haven’t fished it as much this year). I was able to fish it twice last week. Here’s the report (along with some amateurish video of Cutthroat Stalker stalking cutthroat).

Cinnamon Creek Fishing – Learning to Fish

June 20, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

Cinnamon Creek is fishing well. We got to take/teach a fly fishing newbie, Ken. It’s interesting how many things a seasoned angler just “knows,” but you have have to learn at some point, like drift.

South Fork and Henry’s Fork of the Snake – Report

October 21, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

Last Friday (Ocotber 17) and Saturday (October 18) saw Dan (for long-time readers, that’s Talking Bull) and I plying the waters of the forked Snake. Kevin (from The Cutthroat’s Spot) was kind enough to give us some insider information (he lives ten minutes from the South Fork—lucky bugger!) on the river. We heeded his advice [...]

Logan River (above 3rd Dam at the DeWitt picnic area) July 15, 2008 Water has great color. The current is strong but I was able to wade from bank-to-bank in this stretch. Some places the current was strong enough to make me work hard, so if you are not a strong wader, be careful! I [...]

Logan River – July 10, 2008 – Fishable!

July 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

July 10, 2008 The Logan River is fishable! The color looks great. The flows are down. The water is still a bit high, but definitely wadable in most places (be careful, it can be deceiving in some spots). I didn’t get to fish, but will next week. I’m off to fish Cinnamon Creek today and [...]

Blacksmith Fork River – June 16, 2008

June 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I Thought I’d trya spot I have rarely fished because it just doesn’t produce much in the way of cutthroats or surface fishing. I was up close to Hardware Ranch between mile marker 20 and 21 (I hopped in where the grass hay fields are). I’ve talked to others who like the area, but it [...]

June 8, 2008 I took a ride on my motorcycle up Blacksmith Fork Canyon today. I stopped at six locations from the bridge at the mouth of the canyon to Hardware Ranch. How many adult salmonflies did I see? Zip. Zilch. Nil, Nada, Zero, Zed. None. Done. Finished. Complete. I looked for about five minutes [...]

May 30, 2008 The Salmonfly hatch continues. Dan and I hit the river about 2:30. We jumped in right at the old dam (someone was fishing the spot below the dam I fished on Wednesday). Plenty of Salmonflies. The fish were active on the Foam Cross (my name for the pattern I tie?). In the [...]

May 28, 2008 6:30AM The Salmonflies are hatching! There is finally some movement on the river. I checked at the canyon entrance bridge and about a half mile beyond that.
