FISH LAKE MOUNTAIN 2011

We are able to go Fish Lake every summer.  Fish lake is fun to fish, but hanging a cheese ball is not my favorite kind of fishing.  There are a lot of other fishing experiences around.  The last couple of years I have floated Mill Meadow Resevoir.  It is a pretty little resevoir near the town of Fremont.  I love fishing here because if provides the opportunity to catch good sized Brown Trout.  These are beautiful fish.  I fished the evening and caught 8 fish, all Brown Trout.  The weather turned off nice, although when I first got there I was concerned because of lighting and it was raining lightly.  I was the only one on the lake.  I caught all the fish on a black wooly bugger.  Here are a couple of pictures of different fish.

Others were about 15-17"

The other awesome fishing experience I had was fishing UM Creek.  It is my favorite river to fish.  I fish it with huge foam hoppers and it is a blast to watch the fish come and grab the fly off the surface.  It is a pretty river in a pretty valley.  I hooked four, but was not quick enough to set the hook on two. Here is a couple of pictures of the two Cutthroat that I pulled out of the water.
