Browne Lake/Green River

I had the opportunity to go camping the last few days with Annie to one of our favorite places, Browne Lake.  We left Sunday and planned to stay until Wednesday.  We did lots of relaxing and fishing.  Todd, Mary, and Colton came up Monday for the day.  We had a great time, and caught a bunch of dinky fish on the stream.  Todd even out fished me on the lake; he used spinners though.  Here are a couple stories I needed to share though:

We decided to go to the Green River on Tuesday morning.  We got there around 9 a.m. The wind was blowing like crazy and on my third cast this happens:

It was too deep for me or Annie to remove by pulling on it so Annie decided we needed to find somewhere in Dutch John that could help me. She did not have the stomach to push it the rest of the way through and cut it off.  Believe it or not, there is not a soul in the greater Dutch John area who could (or would) help me get my hook out.  After about the fourth place we stopped I decided to quit being a wuss and just yank the stupid thing out.  It hurt like a mother for a couple minutes but then it was fine.

I caught a couple of the biggest fish that I ever have on my fly rod this trip.  18" but really fat and heavy.

Nothing like this one though.  I'm finally in the 20/20 club. (20" fish on a size 20 fly)  I was ecstatic to land a fish of this size all on my own too.  It was only like a 20 minute battle.

Moab 2012

I had the opportunity to go with our Priests Quorum to Moab for high adventure.  It was very hot, and they kicked my butt mountain biking; but we had a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Green River in May

Went to the Green last week with Todd and Clayton for a day trip.  Lots of driving for not very much action but it was still fun.

Yellowstone 2012

We went on our annual Yellowstone trip a couple weeks ago.  Finally getting around to posting pics.

 Can you spot the wolves?

Quick Trip

Made a quick trip with Todd to the Ogden after work yesterday in hopes of finding a BWO hatch.  Nothing doing though.  Ended up catching one whitefish and a nice brown on a copper john. 

I'm Famous!

I got a call from my uncle to be in a video they were making for Gore-Tex in January.  It turned out pretty cool.  I guess I'm almost a professional hunter now.

Green River

Since Annie and I had a day off together we decided it would be fun to do something other than yard work.  I decided Wednesday afternoon that we should drive to Dutch John after I got off work and then fish the Green on Thursday.  Luckily I have a great wife who thought that would be fun.  We got to the motel around 10:30 and then were on the water at 11 the next morning.  The fishing wasn't ever fast, but I was able to catch 5.  I caught all of them on a size 20 BWO.  They were all between 17-19 inches.  It should also be known that Annie is an exceptional camera woman.  Being young and irresponsible was a blast and I can't wait to do it again.
