Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Trip to Utah/Idaho

A coworker and myself (from Missouri) and dad (ole_270) from Kansas, flew out to Utah to meet up with a coworker that works in Northern Utah and basically lives in the water. He took us up high, kept us down on the edge of town, and took us up to some water in Idaho that he trades grocery sacks of cheese (we all work for a dairy company) for drive up access to a stretch of river that would require a many mile hike for the common guy. He thinks he is killing it gaining the access, and the landowner thinks he is killing it getting 50 lbs of cheese each trip.

Good times had by all. I'm pretty inexperienced at fly fishing, same for dad. Coworker buddy from here fishes a lot, and our buddy up there fishes almost everyday. Lots of learnings, lots of fun. No truly massive fish, but had a few over 20" and tons in the 16" range.

Cutty with some random fly that nobody can identify I found in my pack. Caught a ton of fish on it.

Great photos. Makes me want to go fishing. Only been one time this summer. Thanks..

Looks like a great trip! Jealous here as I sit around bored out of my skull. Great memories and pictures.

The water looks perfect. Nice fish.

Great trip, idaho mountain fishing is truly incredible.

What river was that? The first picture looks very much a like a hole on the Tieton that I lost a massive Cutthroat at. That damn fish still haunts me!

Some nice fish looks like it was a great day and some fun fishing.

That looks like a great time.

It's like Fight Club..., we don't talk about the fishing in Utah and Idaho!

And.......the water ain't that clear at all now

That’s some spectacular looking country! Looks like one hell of a trip.👍

Don't even tell your mother about your good fishing spots...
