Highway 40 winds out of Heber City and climbs Daniels canyon on the way to Vernal. A small creek parallels this state highway and I decided to head up to see if I could find a cutthroat or two.
Summer comes late at 7,000ft elevation and the wildflowers were everywhere.
The spot I wanted to visit should be familiar to regular readers of this blog. It is at Three Forks, where a nice pool usually holds a few eager fish.
I made some pretty casts with the WRT but couldn't seem to find a fish. The creek was low and the weather hot so I'm sure the fish had moved to the deeper holes and beaver ponds. I know where one nice spot is a little downstream but decided not to pursue that course in favor of a trip down the valley to Snake Creek.
As I made my way back to the rent car I was thankful to have been able to enjoy this trip up the canyon even if I didn't find any willing fish.
