Month: September 2023

It was a beautiful morning when I got up and about in the Gwynn Tank Campground. There was a parking lot for the trailhead to the Lake / Pond known as Gwynn Tank. I filled my backpack up with waders, boots, and fishing gear as I prepared for the trek to the lake. Google maps…

Today was not eventful except for the long, long, drive and ending up 2 hours along the back roads of the Gila National Forest in the dark. I wish I had one of these, above on my trip. Google Maps did get me to my destination, the Gwynn Tank Campground. However, because the large, easy…

I woke up early and got to the trailhead at 10:30 AM. My plan was to use up all my energy getting over the mountain and to the Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout waters, fish, and get back in one piece. I packed my gear and could not find my shoulder pack with all of my…

It took more than 3 hours to get to the closed Lake Fork Campground. There is a 15 mile gravel road to get to the campground, and it takes an hour of van rattling on a washboard road to get there. There is no Wifi in the area, so I was left with whatever I…

I had a wonderful four days in Salt Lake City visiting my granddaughter, and somewhat her parents. Babies are a lot of work and need 24/7 monitoring. I don’t know how humans have continued to exist. Certainly not with help from me. Of course baby Gwen is gorgeous, certainly from 25% of her DNA coming…

Today I drove up Mill Canyon checking out Mill Creek. Mill Creek was treated with Rotenone to kill all the trout years ago, and then restocked with Bonneville Cutthroat Trout to restore the creek with its original native fish. Mill Creek is a small, brushy creek with lots of downed trees in it to provide…

After driving a couple of hours I finally made it to the above information sign for fishing, in part, for the West Fork of the Duchesne River. Several rain bursts threatened the day during the drive. I guessed that I was supposed to go up the dirt road adjacent to this sign, so I headed…

Being confused with the WNTC maps, I decided that the Cub River, just over the border in Idaho, was the best area for me to catch a Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in Idaho. I drove up the Cub River Road looking for river access. I turned into the Albert Moser Campground and found this pool /…

A two hour drive to Onemile Creek in Utah and I was ready to crawl on my belly to catch a Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. I arrived fresh around 3:00, ready to catch a fish and move on. I have to thank the people at roamandreel.com for having a blog post on fishing here, giving me…

If I had taken a picture of the first fish I caught on this trip, a Redband Trout from the Nevada portion of the Jarbidge River, I would have saved a day and a lot of driving. So, I had to drive 2 hours to Jackpot, then two and a half hours to Jarbidge to…
