All I know is that the purple haze was one of my go to patterns the last couple years in Utah. It would consistently catch fish, in a hatch or no.
Thanks! The handle wasn't too bad to put together (although getting the right shape was a little difficult). I got all of my cork rings from mudhole. They have a good variety of colors. I just...
Just put the final coat of thread finish on yesterday, and I am really pleased with the way this rod turned out. There's definitely a few things I can improve on for my next rod, but on the whole I...
I haven't fished too many rivers there, but make sure you hit the Henry's Fork just west of the park in Idaho.
Wow! Every painting on your website is beautiful. Well done.
Lots of excellent fishing in the area. The Provo and the Green of course, but I would suggest trying the Logan and Blacksmith Fork out. Also, you are only a few hours from the Henry's Fork, an easy...
There are many invasive species besides zebras and quaggas. New Zealand Mud Snails (which are in parts of Wyoming and much of the West) and many invasive aquatic plants can be spread by boats.

My goals for 2012
1) Build my first rod (just started TFO TiCrX 9ft 8wt blanks)
2) Fish for coastal cutthroat
3) Fish for steelhead in WA AND OR. Just moved out this way, and want to see what...
I was on here about 9 months ago asking advice on how to get started on building my first graphite rod. Well, I got really busy with work, moving, and then starting a new job, but now, I have the...
Here are some pictures from today.

Went up towards the headwaters of one of the local rivers, thinking the smaller tributaries may not be as high and off color as the mainstems are right now. The rivers haven't been fishable for more...
Thanks for the replies, Bob and Betty! I am looking forward to starting this project.
That's a good looking fly! I'll have to check out that site and Byron's post and then tie a few up.
That'll catch some fish. Looks buggy, good tie!
I have always been interested in building a fly rod, but have never had the need for a new rod and therefore couldn't justify spending the dough to get all of the supplies. However, I am moving to...
As Trigg said, trail on the north side through the A section. Definitely wadeable, may be some parts you can't get to (never fished it at that time of year) but there are plenty of really nice fish...
The article got it right for me, Adams, Beadhead PT, Wooly bugger. Second choices, EHC, Beadhead Prince. Don't use streamers much, so I don't have a second choice there.
Those are some nice fish in the last few posts! Keep em coming, need something to read while our rivers blow out.
We are running into the same situation here in Utah. Last time I checked Snotel site near the headwaters of the Logan was at 180% of normal snowpack, and we just got more snow up there the other...
Are they expecting a big run-off this year and dumping the reservoirs in preparation? Cool pictures!
That is a beautiful looking fly! I may have to tie some of these up.
Ha, that would be very cool, but unfortunately, I don't think there are any pikeminnow (a few at the most) left above Flaming Gorge Dam.
Byron, perhaps we'll meet some other time on the water. ...
Thinking of coming up Sunday for the day. Weather is looking good as of now. Wish I could take a longer trip, but too much work to do. This will be the first day off I have taken in three weeks!

Has anyone on here fished the Green below Fontanelle Dam in Wyoming? With the Logan and Blacksmith Fork blowing out these past few weeks, a buddy and I are looking for some fishing opportunities and...
