I haven't fished much this summer at all and I am about to go crazy. On the 5th of July I took my brother Todd and Les to Toponce creek and we just had a ball. We hiked up the south fork above the beaver ponds where we got into loads of cutthroat. We then fished the main stem for a few hours the fishing was pretty spectacular. Les didn't even hook himself in the nose this year, but that was the joke of the day. On the 4th Todd and I fished Blacksmith fork and I have to say that was one of the worst experiences of my life. Besides only catching 4 fish I think that every person in Utah owns 4 ATV's and they were all in Blacksmith fork canyon. Note to self avoid anywhere that people know about on holidays. Other than that, I was at scout camp this past week near Palisades dam and took off for a few hours to fish Bear Creek on the west side of Palisades reservior. I caught a mess of fish, most in the 6-10 inch range but there are some hogs in there. I had one surprise me in a muddy looking slow channel that was about 18 in. One of the most beautiful cutts I have ever seen. I hope this week to be back on the river and after more fish. It's dry fly season and everything is looking up. Head to the small creeks for a great time and you might even get surprised in the process.
I guess Tyler was hot!
The creek is really looking in good shape.
