I haven't put up a report over here for a while, so here goes.
I have been hitting the bass fairly hard all summer long and when a kitchen pass came my way today, I decided I wanted a change and went trout fishing. My destination was the high Uintas. The route took me past my usual bassin pond and it was weird not to make the turn at Rock Cliffs. After the always enjoyable drive, I got there around noon. Since I wanted to float, I hit a roadside lake. As usual, the Uintas didn't disappoint. I initially had good luck with a Pistol Pete leech, but then found an area with active surface feeding, and switched to a 14 Adams. They liked that one too. As is typical of most lakes up here, most of the fish were small. Mostly bows but 3 albinos and several brookies too. After catching a number of fish approximately equal to my age, and after the initially cool refreshing rain was becoming a nuisance, I headed back.
As I got to the Rock Cliffs turn off on the way back, I still had a little over 90 minutes of daylight left. The car was on autopilot and the next thing I knew, I was at the launch ramp. As luck would have it, the senko carrier was there in the car too, along with the flies I brought. I therefore was obligated to see how my bass friends were doing before coming home. I am happy to report they are doing fine. (Last 4 pics)
