Bountiful Pond 1-15-2011

I had a little time before dinner on Saturday, so I ran over to Bountiful pond to do some ice fishing. It was fun, caught nine small Bows in an hour.

Daniels Reservoir 11-04-2010

Bruce, Dennis and I took the day off work on Thursday and headed for Idaho to fish Daniels Reservoir. When we arrived the air temperature was around 25 degrees, but warmed up nicely when the sun came up over the mountains. We had a good day fishing, and enjoyed the company of Tim who also happened to be at Daniels.

Soldier Creek Reservoir 10-22-2010

Linda and I wanted to go fishing before the weather turned colder for the weekend, so I took the day off work Friday and we went to Soldier Creek Reservoir. Linda surprised me and fished for six hours without going back to the truck to warm up. The air temperature in the afternoon was 46 deg. And the water was 52 deg. The fishing was slow; we had several bumps, a few on for a short time before coming off. Linda ended up landed twice as many fish as me 6 to 3.


























Linda was the first to land a fish, a nice Rainbow, and then it was my turn, a Rainbow also.












Linda landed the biggest fish of the day and the only Cutthroat.













While Linda went to the shore to eat her lunch, I anchored just out from her and tried out the standing platform and lean bar.













After fishing we drove up to Aspen Grove campground and saw these deer.

Chesterfield Reservoir 10-12-2010

After our last trip to Chesterfield Sam and I were ready to give it another try, this time we wanted to get an earlier start, so we left home at 4:30 am, and arrived at the water’s edge at 7:30 am just before sunrise. We were surprised when Bruce arrived about 30 minutes later.














The first bay I fished was full of these Ducks.












I pumped the throat of the first fish I caught and found it had been eating blood worms, notice the fly in the second and third pictures that imitates the blood worms. I’m not sure what the little bugs are, they look like ticks to me.














These are some of the fish I caught, no big ones this trip for me.














Bruce had the hot rod this trip, catching the most and biggest fish.














Sam caught several nice fish, including some while bonging with a blood worm.














This was the maiden voyage of the new boat.













Watch this video to get an idea how strong these fish are.
