Fly-Fishing: Smoky Creek, Utah

After two days of heavy monsoonal lightning storms, the weather, though smoky, settled down to nearly cloudless skies. I learned a little. Tight-line nymphing was working well, and, at the end of each drift, as the line slowed and nymphs rose, more fish were interested than during the careful, matched drift. After tight-lining while traveling up through a run, I worked back down the same run, drifted a little slower than the current and letting the nymphs rise as in soft-hackle downstream fishing and picked up twice as many fish as in the upstream pass. Not much surface action. The best clip was saved for last.

Beautiful scenery. You pick the nicest places in Utah to fish. Plus, no people in site. Excellent.

This is yet another favorite place. Going Sunday through Friday helped.

Watching that helped me cool off....mentally anyway. haha Nothing like wading a mountain stream on these hot smokey days. Your breakfasts are mouth watering too. It was neat to see the bull moose and the fawns. Thanks for sharin' and stay cool!

Thanks Bob. It was good to be in the water; even above 9000 feet it was otherwise too warm to be in sun.
