Toponce Creek July 22, 2008

I guess Tyler was hot!The creek is really looking in good shape. The big hole
DT's first Cutt on a fly rod

Took Tyler and DT fishin' on Toponce creek. We had a ball until the sun went down. Then the fish went down too. Drove by the Portneuf and it is running high but pretty clear. There should be fish feeding. We had a great time tonight, the only casualty was Tyler's new Cars watch that he bought with his own money today. He forgot to take it off before falling in the creek.

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.
