I have fished Black Canyon twice this winter both times with encouraging success. For the most part the fish were taking midges both times that I have been in the canyon. This has been good for me because my midge fishing was something that really needed some work. Today was beautiful, the temperature was cold but the fish were very active. In an attempt to see what the fish really wanted to eat I fished nymphs, streamers and midges. The winner of the day by a long shot was a #16-20 Griffiths gnat.

Bear River 1/30/2010
I am back in the game. It seems like forever since I have fished, because it has been. One of the saddest events of my life happened on Halloween, 2009. While on a family outing to the creek, I fished a little and played with the kids we all had a great time. About a week later I got done with school and was going to head to the river for one last hurrah, and realized that I must have left my chest pack up at the creek that fateful Halloween day. Long story short it has taken some time to replace even a portion of what I used to carry in that bag, and I now have just enough to get back in the game.

That's a bummer about the pack. It's amazing the price of stuff when you have to do a complete replacement of gear. At least you didn't lose the rod/reel/waders/boots.
I need to get up to Black Canyon--I've never fished it, and it's so close. I really need to make that a winter destination since I don't do a lot of winter fishing.
Take care!

Thanks Scott for hanging in there with me, I am finishing my master's degree this month and I am sure things will get better. I am trying to gather some information on where to catch some bonneville cutthroat. Are they the same as Bear Lake cutthroat. I think that I have probably caught plenty of them before on the Logan and Cub river and even some on the Bear and some of its tributaries. But I am not sure how to tell the difference between them and a Yellowstone cutt. Is it just the spotting and more drab coloring? Are there any other species of cutts that are close? I need to get serious about fish identification.
