It's about time!

Jordanelle Reservoir is technically my local fishing grounds. It's so close I can almost hit a golf ball to it from my back yard. Its been pissing me off that for the last 5 years, I've never been able to catch a fish out of there. Although I never really tried that hard, I tried to fish it at least once a year. This morning I finally caught some fish out of that thing. 1 rainbow trout, 1 brown trout, and 1 small mouth bass. Now I can appreciate living next to the lake even more!

nice view of the lake

smooth conditions on the lake, perfect for casting out of the watermaster

first fish out of the jordanelle, a nice little rainbow. I also caught a brown trout that was twice the size of this thing, but he slipped off before I could take a picture of him.

And so it begins.....

The end of the ski/winter season is always bittersweet. I wish I could ride deep powder all year long! But as the snow melts off the high peaks, and the meadows become green and lush, another season approaches. Fishing season!!!!!

Most of my favorite rivers, creeks, and lakes around here are either still frozen, or are approaching flood stage. We still have a month or so before we really start getting into it. So yesterday my pop and I went fly-fishing in Park City to get a little fix. The local crik was very fishable, and I was able to catch a couple slab brown trout. Can't wait for summer!!!

A few years ago, many of the fish in this creek died because the water dried up. I guess it was more important to the private golf courses that their fairways stay green(???). Regardless, after a few good water years, the fish are back!

About a month ago, I was notified about an online video contest to win $20,000. Thats right, 20k for the best video. Well coincidentally I have been shooting HD P.O.V footage all season long so I decided to whip up an edit for said contest. Here is my entry:
