Utah Fishing

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I thought I'd start getting out to some of the local streams and try my luck. Last week I went with some buddies to Thistle Creek and while we saw a lot of fish, we didn't catch a single one. I decided to try again a couple of days ago at Hobble Creek. I normally don't cast into the catch basin but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Between the stream and the catch basin, I caught and landed 16 fish, lost about a dozen more and saw a ton of fish within 3 hours of fishing. After being skunked on the outing prior, this was a pretty good feeling. I have included a couple of pictures and since I was the only one there, all the pictures are strictly of the fish. I hope to convince some others to come out with me in the future so if you're ever interested, let me know and we'll make it happen.

This was one of my favorite places to go fishing and we always had success until they changed the management of the property and jacked up their prices for camping. The fishing hasn't been the same since and it's hard to justify paying the prices that they are asking these days. I will always give it a shot when I am in the area just in case, but they need to do something different before this place falls apart.

Currently, this has to be one of my all time favorite places to camp and fish. It's just beautiful up there mixed in with Zion's National Park. It may look like a small reservoir but I have caught plenty 5 and 6 pound fish out of this place.

This is another favorite of mine as long as you get there at the right time of the year. They use this place a lot for irrigation and the water gets pretty muddy and dirty but if you can get there when it's clean and clear, you can't stop to relax before you have another fish!

This is an awesome place to fish for all types of species of trout. We have caught rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and tiger trout here.

These are the pictures from the local Hobble Creek. This is one of my most visited fishing spots because it's close and it's pretty fun to fish.

Here are a few of the pictures taken on some of our trips up to Strawberry Reservoir. It's a great lake to fish.
