It is nice being able to be fish during the week though, the crowds are less prevalent. If I have a Saturday off I will let you know.

[quote="orvis1 - I discovered early in life that tying flies is just not a talent I have, but I do write great checks for bugs! Looking forward to seeing your pics...[/quote]
Orvis1, if you already have the tools, etc., keep tying man! The fish don't care how "pretty" your flies are! A lot of my flies are train wrecks, but they seem to catch fish. Just keep practicing.
I hope to get out Saturday (I live in Orem). Haven't decided between stillwater moving water yet. So many waters, such great weather, so little time...

The tools are long since gone other than the checkbook. I'll shoot you a PM...
Sorry, a buddy of mine did get his new quad and has no truck or trailer that is where I come in. To top it off he doesn't really like fishing and I will be riding in AF canyon. I was going fishing saturday but my plans have changed. Fishing31 shoot me a PM the next sat you can get out.

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.

Orvis1, I ended up going to the LP with the 9"4Wt Dan Craft that icthys made for me. There were not as many people as I thought there were going to be. Had a great time, even go into a 21 inch white fish. Love the Dan Craft rod. I was even throwing some streamers with it. Let's hook up possibly the sat after thanksgiving. Anyone else interested let me know. I have a new pattern (midge) that worked great with an egg.
