Lake Mead Fishing

Finally purchased a Nevada fishing license. While there are few fishable waters here in Nevada, there are plenty of fish at Lake Mead. Lake Mead is known for its stripers (type of bass), large mouth, small mouth, and cats.

Kyle and myself headed up to the lake at 5am. As the sun rose up over the Arizona mountains, the bass and stripers started to rise.

After a few hours of fishing, we caught about 20 fish. 18 Stripers, 1 large mouth, and 1 small mouth. Nothing big, 12" max. They were hitting a chrome Krocodile 1/4oz like you wouldn't believe. Here's a few pictures from the trip.

Eastern Idaho fishing, Land-locked Salmon and big Brown

Teton National Park and St. Anthony

Fished Jackson lake in Teton National Forest. Went with Rachels family and her uncle on a small boat around the lake. Fishing was really slow for such a huge lake!

Poles out but nothing going on

Nice looking Brook Trout that I caught illegally. I guess those signs around the river actually mean something.....

Went to St. Anthony with my bro-in-law Paul. He just got back from his mission and caught the first fish today. Here is a nice brown I pulled out of the river.

High Mountain Fishing in the High Sierras

Went on my yearly backpacking trip a week ago and has a blast. Caught tons of fish and saw some beautiful scenery. Most of these are brook trout with some rainbows in there. One or two may be a golden? Not sure, but pretty none the less.

Fishing with my dad

My family was in town because Rachel and myself graduated. So, what better time to go fishing with my dad? We fished Henry's just above Ashton and also hit Chester Dam. Fishing was good, but not great. We caught about 15 rainbows in ashton, all of which were about 12-13". I caught a big ol Utah Sucker, that fought like a log. Meaning, it did nothing. My dad got to try out his new waders. I need to buy me some! All in all, pretty fun.
