Another great day on Calf Creek, Utah
I start the day the same as the last and try a couple pools just down from the campsite. On the second bigger pool where I could see fish my good luck continued and caught a number of little brown trout. Because I stayed at the same pool for a while I changed up between A Royal Wulff and a Parachute Adams when the fish got a little picky.
I move downstream and fish a couple more pools where I can see multiple fish. As before I continue to catch a number of fish in each pool. By this time I am trying a number of different patterns just to see what they will eat. At one point I tie on a Amano Kebari and try my luck at a more traditional style of fishing. To no surprise I catch a few fish while pulsating the pattern and I get a couple as soon as it hit the water. Felt good to catch some fish subsurface but I am still a dry fly first guy.
I decide to walk up to the falls to finish the day off and cant believe how many fish are in the creek everywhere. Even at the pool at the falls I spooked a couple 12+ inch fish as I walked up. Maybe the most beautiful place I have ever fished.
A fantastic day of fishing and hiking in one of my favorite places!
