While on vacation last week, I took an afternoon to go fishing on a small stream up in Northern Utah. I had never fished this area before, but was looking forward to it after hearing the water held Bonneville cutthroat trout.

The first stretch of water I fished was flowing pretty fast. I tried to get some nymphs down deep but after an hour or so I gave up and traveled a bit farther upstream to hopefully find some fish.


I came across an old beaver dam that created some nice holding water.


After several failed casts (flies spent more time in the trees and bushes than on the water), I finally managed to catch this little one on a small BWO.


I spooked another little fish while untangling my line, but soon this nice sized cutthroat came along sipping tiny flies from the surface.


I decided to drop down below the beaver dam to see what the stream held and caught several nice fish.














All told, a nice afternoon catching some native trout.
