I went with a good friend to high mountain lake in American Fork Canyon. Bruce is one of the best fly fisherman I know. He has one of the smoothest cast on the Wasatch front. So it is always a pleasure to go with him and learn a little just by watching his technique. We fished fro about 3 hours and caught only a few fish. Nothing large but never really is anything too big in Silver Flat. Bruce set up double hook with an attractor and and a trailer midge or scud pattern. He got a lot of hits but landed only a couple on what he called a snowcone midge. I fished with my fly rod for most of the evening but got nothing on it so I switched over ultra-light spin gear and landed a little carry over rainbow.
It was promptly sent back to grow some. I continued throwing light weight lures at them and got a couple more hits on the kastmaster. Bruce continued to drag his rig and got a lot of hits yet but still only got a couple to the boat. We finished off the evening by catching a couple on the way in. Slow but the views at Silver Flat are amazing! Great evening with great company.
