Boulder Mountain the return...

albinotrout — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:22:41 GMT

4 weeks ago my son and I hit Boulder mountain and when we returned mamatrout mentioned she would like to go. So after spending a month to outfit mamtrout and my daughter we decieded to hit the mountain again. Weather was iffy but went anyway. Glad we did! Left really early so as to get a head start on the mountain. Got down to Torrey with some time to spare so we hit Capitol Reef National Park for a couple of hours. Upon arrival at Torrey found that there had been a monster rain storm onvernight from all the standing water on the roads. Trail was a little muddy at first but not unmanagable. Got up to the camp site about an hour or so later at Blind Lake. Saw two tubers already out on the water and started to get an itch that needed scratching, and no it was not the skeeters. Set up camp then pulled the caddis u tube out and got it ready. Hit the water soon after for a nice float. Started with my fly rod and an olive woolly bugger. That seemed to be the ticket today. I caught a nice brookie to start with, soon after I came up with a nice splake. Time to mark another species off the bucket list. Just before I decided to get off the water due to the gathering thunderheads I pulled out a small rainbow. Got off just in time to get things put away before the daily afternoon thunderstorn hit.

Next morning I was up at a bright and early time of 6:40 am. Decided to hit the nice calm lake again. Once out there I had a couple of hits and misses and then decided it was time to go for a little breakfast. I threw out a spoon just for giggles and WHAM!!! a fat bow took at and ran. Spent the afternoon hiking to Pear, Beaver Dam Resevoir, and Fish Creek. Saw some fish at Beaver Dam that I molested for a while but them headed back before the afternoon thunderstor{1}**** again. A boy scout troop showed up and demonstrated the new method bank tanglers have of removing unwanted power squadron. After watching them I realized this could be used on us tubers.

Left the next morning early to get a head start. After leaving the trail mamatrout got an itch for a little detour. Our 3 1/2 hour drive just turned into a 12 hour drive. She wanted to see Bryce Canyon National Park so we ended up touring the rest of Boulder Mountain, three State Parks, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Bryce Canyon NP. In all a great fishing trip and tour. Sorry if some of the pics are not too great but the fish were trying not to be too photogenic. Put the pics in my photo album.

Now all I need is some info and a location on the south slope of Boulder Mountain for an adventure next year.

Slimed out on Starvation...

albinotrout — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 12:33:33 GMT

What started out as a family flotilla attacking Starvation Reservoir turned into a Daddy Daughter affair since my son wasn't feeling to well once we got to the reservoir. This of course quickly turned into a slime. We launched to perfect conditions at 7 am in bunny gulch. Water temps a nice 67. The water levels are up and lots of flooded brush. Found all the fishies up close to shore. I quickly had a couple of perch on line ranging from dinks to 9 inchers plus. My daughter went out with two poles and succeded in turning three into knots right away. While I was untying and rerigging one of her rods she proceeded to tie up my drop shot rig. So finally after rerigging we headed out for more fish. While floating with the breeze and motoring back my daughter hooked into a nice smallmouth bass. Her first. Shortly thereafter she cuaght a nice Yellow perch as well. Both on a chartreuse with silver flake jig. I was able to boat a small wallette at 9 inches. We were both on our way to slime city. She soon got bored after a three hour jaunt in the bay. I dropped her off on shore to play for a while and headed back out. Since I got tired of messing with the perch I headed across the bay to see what I could find. Found a nice area of flooded trees and started to throw a jig. WHAM! (I love that word). Hooked into something rather large. Got it to the toon and thought I had a chub. Upon further inspection a nice smallmouth probably around 12 inches. It was camera shy and decided to take off with my mangled hook just before I was able to get my camera out. After messing with the smallies a while longer decided to head back to the car when I saw and heard the thunder heads in the distance. Started to drag a woolly bugger behind me and had a hit. Missed the hook up and continued when another hit. This time I got the hook up, turned out to a be a nice 15 inch rainbow trout. After a nice photo shoot the rainbow was invited home to dinner with mamatrout. Had one more really good hit and miss before I got back just as the forecasted wind and storm picked up. Good time to hit the shore and got packed up just in time as a gully washer hit the lake. All in all a great day spent at Starvation. Hope to get back soon.

Also this was a great trip to see how I could haul the minnows tubes and mamatrouts FC4 on the toon trailer. All worked out well.

Fishing on Boulder Mountain

albinotrout — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 11:25:46 GMT

Took my son last week and headed to Boulder mountain for a couple of days. We put our packs on and hiked in to Blind lake. It was great other than the weather. Wind blew and had a little rain and hail the first day. By the time we left the weather had really calmed down. Caught a few fish and yes they are big there. Put some photos in my photo album for you all to enjoy. I am going to have to do it again. My wife wants to go now too. Here are three of the photos that I posted.

SLCFISHER — Wed, 25 May 2011 23:16:38 GMT

Hey utah members been out of touch with this website for awhile but wanted to share a story from my last trip as you know I have been trying to catch all species of fish in utah and the one fish that has been the hardest to hook into has for sure been the walleye I have tried through the ice and many times from shore but never could catch one then I decided to invest in a hobie kayak they are amazing but I decided to go to starvation hearing that they have the highest population of eye in utah so I set out Very early sun was not even out was about 430 am and alot colder than I thought but knowing walleye feed at night I threw my kayak in and started fishing what happens next you will just have to watch

All Fish in Utah

SLCFISHER — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:31:55 GMT

Hey everybody my name is walker I am new to the site and very new to fishing in general I have gone with my grandapa when I was little and my bro to but just recently in 2010 I fell in love with it I went a couple times with my friend dylan and me and him came up with a goal to catch all the species in utah in a year so i will be sharing all the many trips for all the different kinds of fish with my first time catching a species and my biggest fish of that species. My friend droped out on me about half way through but I went strong when the pictures start with just me taking them thats when he stoped going ha ha. but here we go this is my first fish of the year its in march was pretty cold for shallow bass but I got this one to strike by jigging a plastic worm in watermelon color it was the only one I got that day but still a nice one

This one is the biggest large mouth I have caught same place same worm but this was one of the times I went with my bro in 2007 dont know how I didnt get hooked after catchin this one haha. So I will try to put a different fish every week so keep checkin the site.

Its been a great week!

albinotrout — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:00:50 GMT
