Bucks 2008

Here are a few of some smaller bucks.

These are all the same buck. The sun wasnt up quite yet so the pics are blurry.

Saturday November 29

Here is a 19 inch cutt from Cleveland Reservoir up by Electric Lake.

Here is a 17 inch Rainbow from Cleveland.

One of the 19 inch cutts from Electric Lake. These fish are beautifully colored.

The second 19 incher from Electric Lake.

And a 16 incher from Electric.

Well today I went with Lauries Grandpa, Uncle and Cousins Husband up to Electric Lake. It was a very cold, but successful day. By the end of the day we had caught our limit for each of us and not to mention three 19 inch trout.

Strawberry - October 25

I went up to Strawberry Reservoir this morning. Got there at 630 and fished for a couple of hours. When I got there the fish were jumping like crazy going after all the chubs that are easy pickins this tie of year. The cutthroat trout from strawberry are very aggressive and hungry getting ready for the ice to cover the lake so they are like a bear getting ready to hibernate they eat anything and a lot of it. I had a blast. Oh I took the boys to strawberry on tuesday and caught a 22 incher. These fish bring my total fish of 20 inches or more this year to 10. It has been a great year!

Strawberry Reservoir - July 19

I went to Strawberry Reservoir with six other guys and had a blast. I left at 4 am and didn't get back until 11pm. This is the weirdest reservoir to fish because it has a slot limit, you can't keep and fish within 15 and 22 inches, but anything under that and over that you can keep. I caught 7 fish total. I kept one that was 15 inches and the rest were 20-21 inches. It was weird saying, "oh it is just a 20 inch fish you gotta throw it back" where anywhere else a 20 inch fish is a monster. I caught one that was 24 inches, but I never got it up to the net. The net was in the water and then he shook my hook out of his mouth it was a beautiful fish I only wish that I had a picture of it. I do however have a picture in my head that will last, but nobody else will see that one.

A 20 incher

Here is the boat that we were fishing from. It was comfortable and there was plenty of room for each of us to catch some fish.

At the dock we did our part to help control the chub population. We caught about 75 of these filthy dirty things, popped the air bladder and sent them to the bottom of the lake. They are an infestation at Strawberry.

Garfield Creek - June 28

I went to Cedar City to go to Hanks blessing and Laurie and the boys were in California. Dan and I wanted to fishing so we decided to go to a secret little stream that holds some monster 10 inch cutthroats and 8 inch Brook Trout. They may not be the biggest fish but the scenery and the creek are beautiful.

Shooting Carp

Well, tonight my friend Kyle and I had the urge to go shoot some carp down at Utah Lake. Shoot them we did. We got 6 in about 45 minutes. This was so fun to do, and I need to set up my bow to shoot them it was so much fun. They would be about 10 feet off the dock and we would pull up draw and shoot and then pull the line in. The biggest was 10 pounds. They are ugly stinky things, but it was worth it to take a few of them out of the lake. Definitely doing it again.

Electric Lake June 18 (Yes I went again)

I went to Electric Lake again on June 18th. This lake is such a fun lake to fish. I went by myself this time and started at about 630 at the inlet and fished there for about 20 minutes and caught two (the pictures) one was 15 and the other was 12 or so. They both fought really good and were healthy beautiful cutts. After the creek I went to the lake and caught about 10 more the biggest was 14 inches and the smallest was 10 inches. I am getting the itch to get up there again. I just have to come up with some gas money!

Electric Lake on June 12

I went to Electric Lake again this morning. It was such a good day. I caught another 25 that had some girth to them this time. They were mostly all yellowstone cutthroat, but while I was at the reservoir I caught a cutt, a rainbow, and a little tiger so I had the trifecta, I also caught a couple of browns in the creek. The colorful cutthroats came out of a tributary that is usually closed during the spawn but is open this year. These cutts were beautiful with the average being 14 inches with a couple going about 17. This is for you Dan, non minnows, you need to get up here.

More Silver Lake

Here are some more from Silver Lake, I dont know why it is writing like this.

Silver Lake

These pictures are from my trip up to Silver Lake, up American Fork Canyon. It was really pretty up there and was a beautiful 2 mile hike to the lake. On the way up we saw a lot of deer on the hillsides, a few small bucks. There were mostly brook trout in the lake, but the DWR planted arctic grayling, which would have been cool to catch. The brookies were beautiful little fish. But that was the problem they were tiny all of them were between 6 and 8 inches. They were fun to catch and put up a good fight for their size.

Electric Lake and Huntington Reservoir

The first picture is of an awesome looking tiger trout from Huntington Reservoir that the guy I went with caught. The next three are pictures of Electric Lake which held yellowstone cutthroat trout they were a blast to catch and were very good fighters. The last two is the tiger that I caught at Huntington. We were using minnows that we caught at Electric lake to catch these tigers. This was an awesome trip and cant wait to get up there again. We also saw a ton of elk and deer throughout Fairview Canyon on the way up and down from the lake.

Strawberry Reservoir

Yesterday, May 14, I went up to Strawberry Reservoir with Kyle for a few hours. The fishing seemed kind of slow. I ended up catching one cutthroat that went 21". It was fun being up there with Kyle and watching him reel it in. Of course when we came home he couldn't wait to tell Kaden that he caught a monster fish. He was pretty proud. I am ready to go up there again. He wasn't very pretty compared to other cutthroat but was still fun.

A Couple of Older Pictures

A couple of older pictures. I just had to post the baw chica waw waw because it is good to see the mule deer propagate.

Otter Creek and Piute

I went to Otter Creek and Piute Reservoirs this past Saturday (March 22) and had a great time and caught quite a few fish. All ranging between 17 and 18 inches and had one dink at about 7.
