    Strawberry reservoir, Utah

    Just got back from 4 days of fishing on the "Berry", with my brother. When you can't draw a tag to save your life, some decent fishing will ease the pain.

    Strawberry reservoir, Utah

    Spent a few days fishing Strawberry reservoir in Utah with my brother. A 12 ft flat bottom on a lake 3 miles wide and 7 miles long, needless to say we spent a fair amount of time just motoring to where we wanted to fish Two biggest were a 22” and a 24” Cuttroat. I caught the 22” on an Ultralight.

    Boy Scout fishing #2 (photos)

    Just got back from our yearly Troop fishing trip to the high country. Lots of other Scout activities, and family vacations, so only 9 scouts and 5 adults this year. Besides a five mile hike with map/compass, every boy got a two hour + boat/trolling trip. The average was 4 fish per kid, (nobody...

    Trout, friends and scenery

    My favorite local lake, Courtright, finely opened this weekend. One friend drove 400 miles to go camping and fishing, and another drove 150. I got there first and secured a good campsite before the memorial day crowds showed up. We caught trout, drank good whiskey and had a good time.

    More solo fishing.

    Since the state of AZ failed to issue me an elk tag, I decided to console myself with a last solo trip to the foothills, next week the high country opens. ( the photos will be more scenic, and hopefully the trout bigger). It’s hard to take good fishing selfies while steering the boat and...

    Beautiful day on the lake

    Caught lots of these, nothing over 17”. Son was busy, so I went by myself. Hard to take photos of a flopping trout, while steering, watching a pole and trying to release it un harmed.

    Took some boys shooting

    My son and I are active in the Boy Scouts. While they do lots of cool outdoor activities, the only shooting is a merit badge at camp each year. Several of the parents approached my about teaching firearm safety and taking the boys shooting. Last Tuesday, I put of a firearm safety class with a...

    Utah

    For those of you that like to play long shots, Utah is due in about a week. Think my 7 points will get me that Henery Mt rifle buck tag ? You need to buy a $65 lic if you don't already have one, then it's ten bucks per app.

    Natchez rimfire

    Just an FYI, Natchez has a selection of .22 LR at reasonable prices. 325 bricks of Federal "Auto-match" for 20 bucks each. Not cheap, but reasonable.

    Sharknado 3

    I’m almost speechless. A stunning cinematic masterpiece. So bad, it’s brilliant. The list of actors is almost un-believable. Penn & Teller Mark Cuban plays the president, and Ann Colter his wife. Anthony Wiener (yes, that Anthony Wiener) is the head of NASA David Hasselhoff & Bo Dereck Michele...

    Just a few small trout

    My son bailed out ( to go visit grandma), so I hit the lake solo this morning. Picked up a dozen Bows, from 10 to 17 inches. Had a nice day in the mountians.

    Take a kid fishing

    This weekend my sons Boy Scout troop went camping and fishing at my favorite high country lake. The bad news; A major forest fire (the "Rough fire") is raging twenty miles away down the same canyon, and the smoke became un- bearable by late Saturday, so we bailed out early. The good news; We had...

    Sierra scenery

    Camping with the Scout this weekend. While the boys were doing a hike, I snuck away with one of the other parents, and drove over Kaiser pass to Florence lake. We boated a few German Browns, of course the big one got away right at the boat, but the scenery made the trip. As you can see, the high...
