Those spots...oooooweee! Those colors...daaaaaang! Those....shoulders? Ahhhh yeah. No matter what type of fly fishing you do, it's hard to deny that brook trout are just plain ugly. Before I ever even had...

Utah waters hold some really nice brook trout if you know when/where to look. Typically though, when people think of Utah brook trout (myself included) they think of some of the mountains down south and not...

Recently, I realized that my little brother and I don't see each other as often as we should. I'm a busy dad of three and he's a hard-working fireman who's prepping for med school. After coming to this...

So obviously fall is here. Even the "evergreen" are changing colors 'round these parts. Just a reminder to pick your head up from the water to look at what's around you! Hope fall is treating everyone well!...

The task seemed daunting at times, almost impossible to tell you the truth. It's the hunt, the challenge, the reward, those rare times when things just come together. I am talking about hunting trophy brown...

5 hours of driving, 3 hours of sleep, and 12 hours of non-stop fishing. Sound familiar? Yep. Sounds like the makings of a perfect fishing trip if you ask me! Ha. We were stoked. The mission? Three noobs...

My wife loves camping at established campgrounds and....I'm not really a big fan. Our destination was on this outing was a compromise in the Manti La Sal mountains, but on this trip I learned - yet again -...

Kicking it at Kyle's GP's house in Southern Utah was like waking up to a private brown trout heaven. Like most ranchers I've met, Kyle's grandparents had welcomed us into their home, fed us country style and...

Long drives and simple food seem to be the weekend ritual for me recently.  I got word from a good friend of mine that he and some friends were heading to the Boulders to do some fall Boulder Mountain...

As fall begins to set in, the feesh are getting their eat on and it was time for the usual suspects (Derek and I) to take a quick trip to a little-known and sluggish tailwater in search of some fat tails. Time...

Speaking of brookies...WARNING!!! This post may or may not include lots of fish porn. In light of Derek's brook trout action I thought I'd post up some old brookie love a little closer to home....

The ice would be coming soon and we visited our favorite local stillwater for some tiger trout fishing.  I really enjoy fishing for these fish.  At this lake it's especially fun to tease them as they cruise...

Salmo trutta. There's something about brown trout that has kept them on the top of my favorites list. They're bad.  The thought of a large, kyped-out brown trout lurking under a deep undercut bank, or at the...

I had a quick minute to hit some water. With the lady and little man in tow we set out and began walking the banks. I was setup with a beefy streamer (cause fall is streamer fishing time of course!) and ready...

So Derek and I headed up for another morning and continued our search of some big guys. Let me just sum up the day: Derek got some sweet sweet lovin'....

With Thanksgiving bringing a much needed break from the daily grind, I was able to take some time to go hunt some tigers again. This is always an adventure. I met up with Grant and Derek at the buttcrack of...

It was 4:30ish and I was the last to show up at the meeting place. Grant, Tim, Derek, and I headed out to the spot. I was stoked....
