Fly Fishing
I went out with a good friend of mine to a sweet little Shangri-La to do some Fly Fishing. It was an amazing place. Stay tuned for more pics when we hit it again the end of this month. Here are a few pics of what this gem offered!
Taking Turns

Utah Fly Guides co-owners and guides Jeff Lindstrom and Bryan Eldredge fly fish a small Utah stream. They take turns catching one brown trout after another.
Another First Fish!!
Jun 14th
A couple weeks ago I fished the Blacksmith Fork, a local river in Cache Valley, with my brother in law and his friend Chase Wood. We hit the river really early picking up a few fish right off the bat. We hit some deeper holes as we moved up river and my bro-in-law hooked into a fish, we landed it he said it was his first fish ever. I did a double take because I couldn’t believe it. I have taking him fishing before and was for sure that he had landed a fish or two but he said he hadn’t. This was the second time in the past few months that I have been with someone for their first fish. It is an awesome experience to see the look and expressions on ones face when they get that first fish.
The whole day was a great success landing some great trout and some of the biggest white fish I have ever seen.
Snapped my TFO

Last weekend I took a trip to Missoula to hang out with my family and all of my close buddies. My best friend Casey suggested that I bring my fishing gear because he wanted to take me on a float down the Bitterroot River (South of Missoula) with his and his Brother Taylor who is a guide for the “Missoulian Angler.” I told him that I would love to do a float.
We met the next morning and headed down south. We arrived at the put in area. In a matter of seconds I snapped my TFO rod on a MONSTER (actually i just snapped it somehow as I was casting) luckily we were still in close proximity to the truck so I hopped out and got Casey’s extra 4wt. Back on the river Taylor had set us up with the appropriated flies and we pulled over on the first nice run. I had positioned myself at the top of a fast moving run and I got a huge hit on my first cast. I was hooked up on a nice brown! I had it on only for a few seconds when it jumped out of the water with a violent thrash and spit the fly. I was kind of pissed because the first one to catch a fish didn’t have to Shotgun a 16 oz Beer. Needless to say Taylor pulled in a nice Rainbow about 2 minutes later from the same hole. We headed down stream and Casey had hooked what he thought was a monster. It was fighting like crazy and running on him every time we got it close. It still turned out to be a nice rainbow but it was foul-hooked so it seemed bigger, especially on a 4 wt rod.
We caught a ton of whitefish which we kept about 15 to smoke. and quite a few Trout. The weather couldn’t have been any better. We were on the River from 11am to 6:30pm. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town.
FRENZY 2010!! Where Would You Suggest We Go?
Feb 4th
Frenzy 2010
This year’s Frenzy is still about 5 or 6 months away, but I am already getting antsy. As I was thinking about where we would go on this year’s Frenzy, I decided that I would reach out to the Frenzy Nation and get your opinion.
For those that don’t know what the Frenzy is, I will do a brief recap:
- 8-10 dudes getting together once a year to fish non stop (and I do mean non-stop) for 4 – 5 days.
- It is a tradition that we have been doing for 8 years.
- No woman or children allowed.
- Lots of junk food and quick eats so we can get on the water quickly.
- We fish an area that has easy access to lots of good fisheries within a relatively short driving distance.
Most of the years we have fished in Southeast Idaho with Island Park or Victor Idaho being our base camp. It has been great because we can fish the Madison River in Montana, the Henry’s Fork of the Snake, the South Fork of the Snake, Henry’s Lake, and other close streams.
We are not adverse to traveling a short distance to fish new waters that will produce great results.
We aren’t opposed either to fishing the same waters we do most years, I just thought it would be interesting to see where you all might suggest or places that you have gone before where you can lose yourself fishing for 4 – 5 days. But big enough to have 8 – 10 dudes out their fishing.
Give us some suggestions! We are all ears! Where is your 4 – 5 day fly fishing getaway?
