Fishing with Dad

For years my dad and I and sometimes my brothers and brother in law join us to go fishing at Trial lake in the Uintahs. We don't go as often as we used to, in fact last year we only went once. Today we finally went for the first time this year. there are many reasons we like to go there, for one I don't think we have ever come away without our limit of fish, but also it is a beautiful place. Here are some pictures of todays fishing trip/ We both brought back our limit and released as many as we kept.

I like to fish with a spinner, because the fish hit so hard and they fight harder than with bait. Today I tried every spinner I had and only caught 1 fish on a small red and white Dare Devil spoon. I found that the secret combination today was one 1 salmon egg on a small hook with half a worm. Once we found they were hitting on that combination we fished most of the day with that. Like I said we both took home our limit of fish and released all the ones we hooked in the lip and could safely release them.

 

Several small thunderstorms came through but we only had a few minutes of light rain

Ever wonder why they are called the Rocky Mountains

We stopped at Provo River Falls to take some pictures

It was a great day
