We spent a couple of days on the Green River in Wyoming this week. I love that place. We started with a full day float and then realized its better to wade. So we floated to the good zones and got off the boats then caught some hogs. It was well worth the trip. The hot flies were Platte River Spiders and Red or Orange Zebra Midges. We caught Rainbows, Browns, Cutts of course White fish and a random Lake Trout. I would suggest you make the trip. Fish On!
I'm stoked that Miller/Coors is making these resealable 16 oz beer cans. They work great for fishing and other fun outdoor activities. The advantage is you can open a beer and then close it to get back to casting and stripping. When packing your beer around in your chest or hip pack always make sure to wrap them with koozies. Keeps the frosty brew cold while hiking around and makes for a great treat after reeling in a big one. ><:::>
I wonder if one of these guys would creep in to the Green River? How fun would that we to catch on a fly rod! Check out a couple of the photos from the Utah DNR Facebook page of the gill net survey of Antelope Flat. Matt McKell shows off one of 12 lake trout netted at Antelope Flat. This is a 23 pounder.
Ian Kennedy shows a big lake trout from this morning's gill netting trek at Antelope Flat.
We went up to Hams Fork on Tuesday. The water was effected by run off making it a little high and off color. We still hammered through the conditions and hooked on to a few good fish. Mostly Rainbow trout but Sean Boss hooked in to a nice 24" Brown to end the day. It was a fun trip but I would recommend giving that spot a few weeks for the river to calm down.
we've been going out on the river everyday and just slaying some fish. Here's a couple photo's of some trout we've caught.
Super Moon post coming soon!

Go get bent!
Tonight is the night where the moon will be its brightest and biggest for the year 2012. Sounds like a great night for skating mice. Super moon, super adventure, SUPER hogs!
Get bent!
Todays tip is more of a product review. But I think it pretty cool and love to using it. The LIFEPROOF iPhone case!
I was fishing with my buddy Tad. He pulled out his iPhone to take a photo of a fish and whoops he dropped it in the river. After trying all the tricks to dry it out he ended up having to replace it. I didn't want to make the same mistake and went looking for a water proof case. Mouse put me on to the LIFEPROOF case. Its pretty bomber. After doing some research on web, watching videos of people taking it snorkeling and filming fish under water I had to get it. I could not be any happier. I take mine fishing with no worries and love to play around and take under water photos. I don't have any stress about dropping it in or out of the water. If you use your phone to listen to music while fishing or to take photos I would suggest grabbing one of these guys.
I figure you can see that the Brighton Anglers have some spare time on their hands. With multiple blog posts of different crews hitting up separate rivers in the same day it looks like we don't have jobs. Its kind of true. With the ski season winding down and the resorts closing we all have a little R&R to catch up on. We of course chose to do it with fly rods in our hands. Here's some photos from a fly fishing trip to the Weber River the other day. Caught on to a nice little caddis hatch that got the fish all excited. Supper fun afternoon. Enjoy!
Parker trying out for the quater back
Caught like 5 of these in the same hole.

Nothing like rippin some lips.
I like to practice catch and release. But this lil guy didn't want to swim away. So she became dinner after an afternoon fishing session. I think I had every kind of meat in one serving. I was surprised how good trout on a hot dog is.
Went out on the river today with Mouse and Isla (AKA spawn of Mouse). We had a late start but ended up hitting the hatch right when it started getting good. Caddis were everywhere, it was quite crazy! Nothin better than catching a bunch of trout on big dry flies! Yehaww!
Yes, the water was fantasti!
One of the first fishes of the day. These guys are healthy.
GET BENT!
A nice colorful brown! Plenty of these to go around.
A nice cast isn't the only thing Mouse is packin these days!
Future Brighton Angler? Time will tell!
Mouse and Isla were quite the team today! Check out the nice rainbow they landed.
Such a great fish to end this post with. Happy fishin everyone!
And don't forget
TO GET BENT!
When All else fails you can always try to dive in and take a few swings.
Who wants to make a trip to Argentina? Haha.
We've all been tying flies like crazy! Let's hope it all pays off!
Part of the crew went out to the Training Facility, way out there deep in hog country the other day. The day started out very unsuccessful and was bumming us all out. Good thing one of us was scarring a cooling full of cold beers to pass the downtime. Then finally, BAM! Mouse hooked up to two good sizable fish one after another in a good hole. Check the pictures to see these hogs i mention of. After that it seemed we caught on to the fish and stared to rip some lip and landed some footballs. Streamers of the colors green and ginger worked quite well and so did the famous SOW bug. Good times at the zone.
Got real artsy after fishin
Brighton Anglers sticker still hangin at the Betos window
Dave hooked into a nice brown!
Great BIG brown! Healthy strong fish!
Check out the jaw on that thing! Huge!
Dave with another nice brown!
Colors are insane!
This guy was a fun one to land. Fighters!
Mouse hooked up to good fish!
Thing was a beaut! This guy didn't want to come in to shore that's for sure.
Then Mouse hooked into another one right after that!
This guy was BIG! One hell of a fight with Mouse i'd say!
That concludes our Trip!
Get Bent!
