October has been great!

[LOAH]

(This is a long report, so check my blog for more pics/details.)

October has been good to me so far.  

My buddy J and I hit a fun creek last Sunday and wrangled in a bunch of good browns.  I filled up my waders twice, but it was worth it!  









It was great to get out with him again.  

This week, scientificangler and I did an overnighter in hopes of big brookies.  Having heard discouraging news from people we knew that had gone the day before, we still wanted to try our luck.  It wasn't easy, but it we reaped some rewards for our efforts.





The fish were ridiculous. Even the tiny cutts are glowing with great color. The bigger fish are fat and healthy.







I got a really good male that made my trip.



Thankfully, scientificangler was there to get a better photo of the color.



Just awesome.

Day 2 was a lot of fun as well, though the still water experience was less than what I'd hoped for us.

There's a lot more story to this, so check the blog (Utah Water Log) for that.  I'm out of time to convert formats, sorry.

I was about to go this week also. I'm hoping to make it back there in the next week or two depending on the weather.

Looks like you did pretty well.

How was the last part of the hike with the inflated tubes.

Very nice, looks like a lot more fun than the hunting has been. That one fish is incredible. Thanks for sharing that with us. Later J
