Johnson's Creek Aug. 22nd, 2014

August 22nd I departed from SLC and flew with my Dad to Johnson's Creek, ID Airstrip for some back country flying and fishing.  The fishing was no good that day, but I did see the biggest Brown Trout actually float by on the river.  When I first spotted it, I thought it was a piece of driftwood until I saw it's dorsal fin which was sticking out of the water because it was so big.  This lead to a river hunt, which paid off at the end of the trip, as you will see.

Below is the SPOT map, the GoPro video, and some pics.  Enjoy!

West Fork of the Duchesne Fly Fishing

Opening weekend of the West Fork of the Duchesne on July 12, 2014 was immensely successful for Mortensen and Gourley.  The Colorado River Cutthroats were hungry for hoppers, including a 14" Eric landed and multiple 12" Mortensen caught.  The GoPro video and some pics are below.

Blacksmith Fork Fly Fishing Trip

July 5th found Mortensen & Gourley making the fishing pilgrimage to the Blacksmith Fork River for some scenic Cutthroat fishing.  Eric landed a nice 12".  Mortensen had two on the line, but they got lost in the algae.  The highlight of the trip was the Squatch nest Mortensen discovered on the way out. The video and some HD pics are below.  Enjoy.
