Bass Fishing Sand Hollow Utah 10/11-12/17

Wednesday morning met up with Shifty at his placed hooked up the Fish Steeler to "The Great White" and we were on our way to Sand Hollow Reservoir in Southern Utah for a two day fishing trip for bass. Shifty puts up with my need for fly fishing so I try to reciprocate with a trip to bass fish. Sand Hollow is his favorite to fish so we travel there one to two times each season.

Tuesday text:

Me: strawberry?

Shifty: sweet!

me: great pick you up at 6

Shifty: why 6?

me: the sun doesn't come up till 8

A half-hour later........................................

Shifty: no the weather channel says the sun will rise at 7:37 and I know you like to get there before the sun comes up.

me: fine you better be ready when I get there to pick you up.........

Shifty: crap, I hope it's not too early....

Thursday morning I arrive at 5:15 and wait till 5:45 for Shifty to get out of the house. This is from the person that wakes up at 4 am to go ice fishing and the sun doesn't rise till 8:30 am and I am the one that always wants to get going early.......hahahaha.

Harvest full moon at 5:15 am

So ya Thursday morning I text him as I am leaving to pick him up and say you better be ready, no reply. I get there and no lights are on.

We loaded and got on the road by 5:50 and still got to the lake before the sun came over the horizon and it was 23 degrees. This was after we stopped and got breakfast.

Wyoming Fishing Episode II

This week Shifty and I went to Wyoming looking for some big rainbow and cutthroat trout. We fished this same area last year at the same time, we did it with Jimmy Kofoed as our guide, this year we went to try our luck on our own. We loaded up at 4:30 am and picked up Shifty's friend David and made our way to Evanston where we picked up license and supplies. We made it to our destination by 9 am and were on the water.
