I love this t-shirt. Have you ever sat and casted to a rising fish and it couldn't be bothered even looking at your fly? Did you have the thought that its rising out of the water to flip you off? I sure have! I came across this shirt from Coalatree and had to get my order in. If you want one to you can get them at Karmaloop.
Fishing green drakes!
The Green Drake hatch has been poppin off lately on the Middle Provo. I've been a couple of times already and it's been off the chain, with an exception for one day. I've tied up a few different patterns that have proven to be effective. BIG foam body drakes with a parachute and some hackle are the ticket as well as some dyed green deer hair emerger/crippler patterns. Get creative when tying these patterns, the fish on the Middle see thousands of drake imitations, so make sure yours stick out from the rest. Good luck fishing, and if you haven't made it out there, get out now! These hatches are the most prolific hatches that happen in Utah. Get bent!
I wish I had more photos, but I managed to drop my Iphone in the river AGAIN. I think it's about time for that Lifeproof case!

Meow Fishing
Luke, Richard and Drake hit up what they like to call the G-Spot on the Jordan River. This is the first time Drake has caught a fish. I hear it was a great time for everyone. Nice work guys.
Idaho Dirtbiking & Fishing
Headed up to Idaho for a long weekend of adventure. Started off with a couple of days of Dirtbiking with friends in St. Anthony's and then Bryan and I went a little further north to Island Park to hit up the Henry's Fork Opening. It turned out to be a super fun trip. We fished in crazy wind and fished for super picky trout. We caught a few hogs and got a lot of sand in our pants. Here's a stack a photos of the trip. Enjoy!

Catch Your Dinner
I went fishing with a journalist who I work with in the winter and helped her with a story for the City Weekly. She was pretty stoked to see how productive fly fishing can be. Check out the Catch Your Dinner article on City Weekly's website or pick up the latest issue around town. It was fun to see her get excited over a 10" fish.
Thanks For Teaching Me To Fish Dad
These photos from the late 70's make me smile. There of my dad Rick on one of our many family camping trips. Dad was always taking us kids fishing. As I grew up it was something we both enjoyed doing together. I have many fond memories of camping, hiking and fishing with my dad. My passion for fly fishing and recreating is handed down from him. I love and miss you dad.

Went to the provo
Took the journey to the middle provo river after work today. It was a hot and dry day, perfect for wet wading. This weather pattern seems to be pretty consistent.
Which is good! GREEN DRAKES!
Fish of the day
I caught a bunch of colorful fish on the way home from work yesterday. Not bad working in the mountains.
