Deer Creek Report 6-12
#1
I went up to Deer Creek last night after work in hopes of getting to play with the fishies. I started fishing at about 7:00. I casted lures and had a couple hits but didn't hook up. I then got out my flr rod and on my second cast, WHAM!!![Smile], I hooke dinto my first smallie on the fly, it was a blast, it took forever to get him in. Those things are a blast on a flyrod. He was 14 inches long, I caught one more bass on my flyrod then decided to go after some trout. It wasn't long before I hooked into a nice rainbow, it was a pretty bow. A few minutes later I hooked into another good fish, it turned out to be a pretty nice brown, nothing big, but it was a nice fish. Then I headed for the truck. I left at 9:00 in order to get out of the canyon before they closed the road. I only took one pic, its tough when your by yourself. Oh yeah, I was fishing near the island. It was a pretty good 2 hour fishing trip.[Smile] Anybody flyfish up there for smallies, whats a good fly to use? I was using a black wooly bugger on a sinking line.

Nice little brown. Those smallies sure pack a punch! I'll bet it was a blast on a fly rod.

Hey H4BB, one of the very best colors at Deer Creek is white or smoke color (smoke senkos knock the smallies and largies dead there).

You should consider tying a WHITE leech or wooly bugger pattern and try that out on those smallies. I have never tried it, but I bet the results would be deadly.

sweet its about time you got up there. I hit jackson lake but it wasn't any good I had one nice fish follow my lure in and that was it. The rivers are all still to high to fish good.

Hey dude a buddy of my'n was up there a week ago and said he was killing the trout on a J-7 in perch..
a fly for smallmouth is a crawdad pattern that is weighted.. fish it right off the bottom like a jig.. back east that's what most the flyrodders i know use for smalles.. if the time of year is right a popper can be the most fun tho..
