Riding with the King

Pure Awesomeness

Me and Sir Noah rockin our patches for the party

Rocking my new favorite shirt(Steal Your Face, The Fly Fish Journal) with some family for our party.

If you have ever fished with me in the 801 you know my love of these chocolate dunford donuts. See above for results of what they do to my tummy.

I got out this week to keep up the tradition of fishing on the birthday. As I am writing this I was thinking of when this fishing on the birthday thing all started. The one that sticks out was when I was 15sh(ten years ago) and my Mom drove me out to Quail Lake while letting me sluff school. I fished out in the rain and hard wind in my older brothers circular float tube and neoprenes. I only lasted an hour or so and didn't catch anything, but it was memorable to say the least.

The Drake's Fly Fishing Film Festival was bananas. I went with a couple buddies and we really liked some of the shows that will be coming out soon. It also got me itching bad for some more saltwater action.

Matt and I also hit the Provo for the day. It was great to get out in February in the snow, of course Matt the Master caught all the all fish, just ask him;) We had some luck on the Middle Provo fishing deep and also had some luck throwing dries in fish inhaling midges on top. We ended the day fishing down on a section of the Lower Provo. Matt caught a 29" rainbow with the tail pinched it was 30", but we didn't have our cameras, dang...... I also found some sweet new polorarized Smith sunglasses on the river imagine that.

First try at the MP

I was in SLC this weekend, Emily wanted to go to some bridal show. That was fine with me I wanted to have a shot at the middle Provo in the winter. I knew I would be going, so I gave John Schultz a call and let him know I was coming. In the past John and I had mainly fished stillwater together, but he said he wanted to catch up and needed to get out of the house anyway. I met him at his house, said hello to Susie and talked for a little bit. John also gave me some sweet beads used for spawning trout and a cool williams joseph light lanyard. We then went and fished a section of the middle Provo. It was raining, as it had all weekend. It wasn't to hard, but constant. We fished for probably 3 hours and nothing. I was shocked at how many people were fishing in the rain and cold in the middle of the winter. John says thats how it usually is and can't barely stand it generally its so crowded. We decided to go grab some food, so we stopped in Park City and had some good conversation while eating some pretty good Mexican food. Even though no fish, it was good to catch up with John again. Were waiting for the ice off at Minersville and he is going to head down here.
