Brown is Down

Settle down all you deer hunters!

I'm talking fishing here. I made a trip to SLC and packed a couple of rods "just in case".

Winter is on the way.

Monday evening found me in the Heber Valley at the famous Snake Creek with the 9' TFO 5wt rod and a wooly bugger or two. There is already snow in the mountains and the creek is heavily vegetated. Time for a freeze!

I managed to fool one small Brown and a nice Rainbow.

Nice Heber Valley Bow

I made a return trip on Tuesday evening and arrived just after a thunderstorm.

I got some nice pictures but the fish were down in the creek as it was running hard and dirty.
