Last week Myself and Clarence got to take out a wonderful family of four on a fishing trip who were looking for things to do in Park City, Utah, their names:  Jay, Jackie, Noel and Zen.   What a Trip!  The day started out around 10 am and we got to our secret fishing spot around 10:30.  As we approached the river we saw two beautiful geese fly by in the early morning light showing off their flying skills as they honked again and again.  We also scared 2 ducks out of the fishing hole.  Once there, Clarance gave great instruction on fly fishing technique and then Zen (picture above) started fly fishing first.  I need to mention,  he is only eight years old (the youngest fly fisherman I’ve ever had!)  Also I might mention that his sister Noel is the youngest fly fisherwoman I’ve ever had at nine years old!

After fishing for about an hour without any success, the hatch began, things started heating up and Jay was the first to catch and land a fish.  I’m telling you, you could really see some excitement shining from this grateful man who had just conquered his first trout fly fishing!

Next, Noel caught her huge 18 inch rainbow trout.  It’s beautiful, both her and the fish, just take a look below, nice work Noel!

Noel ended up catching a huge brown trout too.  It was amazing, again, all by herself…what a spectacular sight.  It was a pleasure meeting this great family.  They said they went snowmobiling, on a horse carriage ride, skiing/snowboarding and they said that this was by far their favorite thing to do!  Thanks again guys and we’ll look forward to seeing you next year in Park City and being your fly fishing guides:)

Today was a wonderful day to be out fly fishing in Utah.  I had a client come out today for his third day in a row with his dad to fly fish utah and what they found was not only some great fishing, but some time to relax on the water, and a great adventure.  It’s always a pleasure to get to take out clients who are naturally have the touch, and Brian had it.  Below is a video of Brian and his Dad with one of his many fish.

On their last day here (today), After spotting a huge brown trout we stuck with it and fished the hole for about 20 min.  After patiently waiting for a “hit” we finally thought of a new plan.  Shorten the indicator and put on less wait…BAM!  FISH ON!  It took us a good 5 minutes of walking with the fish to land this one.  All I have to say is good job Brian, and the fish was worth the swim!
