Well, I decided to go up the Cache Valley for the day and meet up with Chuckmeister. I needed a change of scenery.
Got up there around noon. We decided to hit up the Black Smith Fork R. I recently put together my first fly rod (Dan Craft Sig V, 9ft 4wt.) It's for my brother, but I had to test it out. :wink: I have to say, those rods are very, very nice. I will be building one for myself eventually, sooner than later. It was so smooth. I Highly recommend those rods, great rods for the price.
On the first hole, we saw a couple fish rise. Chuck insisted that I cast first. Well, first cast, first fish. It was a very skinny brown. Thought it was going to be nice day of catching fish. But the Black Smith R. had other plans.
Turns out that was the only fish I landed all day. Chuck hooked into a few, but they all got off as well. One of them wrapped itself around a branch and eventually broke off when Chuck tried to net it.
It was just one of those days the fish weren't interested in playing.
At around 3:30 we headed over to the Logan R. The results were the same. No one was really having any luck to speak of.
All in all, it was still a very enjoyable day of fishing.
