This past weekend I was lucky enough to catch some grayling up at 11,300 feet. My destination was an unmarked glacial lake on top of a mountain range in southern Utah. It requires a short hike in and is well worth the bumpy drive on over 12 miles of never […]
I’m a self-proclaimed lover of small streams. I don’t care that the trout are often tiny, or that I sometimes spend more time using a bow-and-arrow cast than anything else.

I have various staple items that I take with me when I go fishing. Some of these pieces include my rod/reel, fly boxes, a gear bag, and a net. I have many different rods, many reels, many fly boxes, and many gear bags. But the one thing that I only […]
