Trail Ride - FR132 Lefthand Fork Diamond Fork Canyon

We have been getting out on the weekends and taking rides on the Outlander. On this trip, we decided to stay a little closer to home. A decision we questioned as we were on the trail. The trail was quite a bit busier than we care. We made our way to Diamond Fork and went up to the parking area for the Left Fork. This should have clued us in when there was a camp trailer parked in the staging area.

Fishing Deer Creek - Day of The Bat

Thursdays are fishing days with Shifty and a couple Thursdays ago we both got spanked on the troll for trout. Not one bite in a couple hours of trolling. The day didn't improve for me. I practiced my casting technique in hopes of finding at least one that wanted to join me on the boat. We Trolled in our usual lanes and used our usual gear and changed it often trying to find the ticket for the trout but no luck.

Trail Ride - Lake Fork

We decided to hit the trail over the weekend. We loaded up the Outlander and headed to the canyon. We ended up in a canyon that I enjoy fishing on the fly called Lake Fork. It's an easy trail and one I know well. We unloaded and started up the trail looking for fall colors. The road is well maintained and nothing to hard. It runs from Thistle Canyon around the backside to a fork that will take you back into Indianola or left to Dansies Canyon. We started off and ran into a few other folks at the start but they thinned out quickly.

Evening Fish at Deer Creek with Jimmy and the Boys

      

Nothing makes me happier than spending time with my family! A couple weeks ago Jimmy my oldest called and asked if I wanted to go fish Deer Creek with him and my grandsons. I said yes of course and met him at his place. He has a beautiful Targa so I loaded my tackle and poles in and we departed for Deer Creek. We launched around 5pm and made the run-up lake to the cliffs, that are now 30 feet out of the water. Deer Creek is extremely low and getting lower. We stopped and rigged up for the evening bite.

White Bass from the Dock

Shifty and I made it to Provo boat harbor and fished the evening bite. This was an impromptu, "Hey let's meet at the Dock!" By the way, this was a couple weeks ago. I know, get yourself busy and keep your BLog up to date. Anyhow, we had a great evening on the docks. The algae bloom was in full force and the fishing wasn't great but the evening was awesome.

The temps were still hot and the water hasn't started to turn over yet. The fish are stacked in the mouths of the river but we weren't on the boat. So we enjoyed the evening on the dock. We threw plenty of different presentations at them to get them to bite. Shifty figured out the lure by going back to his favorite set up with a blue fox and a trailer of the treble. I got into a few on the basic curly tail jig.

The sunset was spectacular. I got a bonus Crappie just as the sun was setting and that wrapped up the evening as the bugs became crazy thick! Shifty headed north and I headed south. Until next time get outside.
