Fished Saturday at the Soapstone from 1pm to 4 pm started at the bridge and headed down stream from there. Fish has sure dropped off since last weekend and the water is much colder thatn last weekend also. Caught 10-15 fish only kept 3 (Rainbow 14", Brown 12" & Brookie 10") all in the 10-14" range, most of the fish caught were 6-14" with most around 6" I did see a couple nice fish that I couldn't hook up. This was a lot of fun because I squeezed the barb on the hook so I was basically fishing barbless for most of the day.
UncleRay was along to enjoy the fun he has a lot of trouble on the Provo and hasn't figured it all yet, but I try to help him out and he's learning. Oh yeah he caught fish too!
After we tired of the Upper Provo we headed for the Bear River drainage. Stopped at the Sulphur Campground. Earlier this year I fished there as we were eaten alive, but the bugs are mostly gone we fished the stream behind this campground from 4:30pm until dark. Lots of beaver ponds and we even got to watch a couple beaver swimming around one pond while we fished. They didn't seem to like it much because they would pop the surface with their tails making a big splash. When they started that the fishing in that pond shut down.
All in all we brought home 11 fish which are headed for canning this evening and will be a tasty treat after the snow begins to fly.
I'm posting some pictures, there is a lot of color in some of the fellas
