Thanks, Joe! It's good to be back. It's fun to experience these trips again after so long.

Thank you! Definitely my favorite part of the trip

I love catching these fish! They are beautiful!

She is the cutest! 🥰 Skiddy and I always have a good time. Especially when we're catching a bunch of fish!

Those kids were super cute! They kept cheering when I would catch a fish. They asked so many questions and followed me up the creek. That tree was crazy! I stepped next to it and it almost fell over. I would hope people would do the same for me.

Thanks so much for your comment!Great questions! The disease is called Whirling Disease. It is caused by a parasite that does get transferred from dead fish. It usually kills the fish very young because they can't swim well. It is supposed to be safe to eat the fish because the parasite doesn't affect humans, but I would never risk it... 🤔 I did report this to the Utah DWR. I read somewhere you were supposed to kill these fish outside the water to avoid it spreading but the DWR told me to not do that because lots of people would mis-diagnose it and kill fish that just have scoliosis or something similar.

@@tntepicadventures thanks for the info.

No problem at all!

Thanks so much for the info and your support! That's way cool. They made the strangest sounds.

My kids try and mimic the sound they make. It's so funny when they do! If they are called "rib-eye" does that mean people eat them?

Thank you so much! She's been such a joy in our house! I'm excited to start paying videos again.

Thanks, Greg! She has been so much fun!

Haha! The camera adds 10 lbs and the GoPro adds 50! 😉 This was such a fun day and would have been even more epic with slightly lower water! I still have to submit both my Utah and Wyoming slams, but will get that done before the year ends.

@@tntepicadventures I still can’t believe the very first two fish we caught was our target and that was it! It’s rewarding to watch us catch those little brookies and not have to worry about whether it counted or not! Your “OH NO!” When you caught yours makes me laugh 😂. Fly rod certainly had its advantages in some of those turbulent stretches.

That was crazy! It made the rest of the trip so relaxing. I didn't get you catching you CRCT in Utah, but that was pretty early into the second river too. There was for sure real panic in my voice on that one! I was so scared that he was going to get off. That was nice to bring him all the way to me with the Western fly rod.

Thanks so much for watching!

This was a tributary to the Weber River that I'd never been to before. I wasn't sure what I would find here... It turned out to be a pretty good place!

That's awesome and I 100% agree! It's been pretty hard to learn, but well worth the effort for all the beautiful fish and places I get to see.

That's awesome! Brown trout are really fun to catch. Keep it going!

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out. I've learned that this rod is a little too soft for heavy streamers. I tried a dungeon fly and it was a disaster! 😂 It's part of learning new techniques though.

That horseshoe bend look amazing. Congrats on diversifying your skills! 😊

I had a hard time leaving that section! 😂 It's been a really good experience to take up Western Fly fishing. I'm very glad I have both skills now because they each have the benefits and work better in some situations.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! It's so much fun passing along what I've learned and watching him get so much better! Definitely hit me up if you're in Utah.

Thanks a ton for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I've got more coming.

Yeah, he's pretty awesome! Still learning but getting there quickly

Thanks for your support, Niel! It means a lot! I'm glad we brought both rods and were able to compare them directly. Definitely differences and benefits to each of them.

Thanks so much! This was such a fun trip. Tanner has become quite the fisherman. I use his FoxFire pretty often now because of how accurate it is. It's an awesome rod.

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! This is one of my favorite parts. I love being able to share the beautiful wilderness and fish with my family!

Thanks for your support! I don't like to give away my exact locations on Social Media. I can tell you that this is not Leeds Creek, but it is in that same mountain range.

@@tntepicadventures yeah I understand I was going to delete comment if you confirmed haha. Awesome videos I fish all those creeks fun catching those cutthroats!

Agreed! These are some awesome creeks to fish.

Thanks, bro! That's one of the main reasons I keep getting out there. I love the places I get to visit.

For sure! This creek is beautiful! I didn't have to hide from the fish, which made it nice and easy. The fish here are gorgeous too!

I know, right!? It was crazy to see a fish like that. I'm glad the DWR doesn't think it's whirling disease. That's nearly impossible to get rid of. I did see a larger fish (13") on my next trip that had the same problem. So, hopefully that means this little guy can grow bigger.

Thanks so much! This is definitely going to be one of my go-tos during the colder months. I love the red rocks is Southern Utah

Do it! That area is beautiful!

Thanks, man! There a few places to catch Grayling in Utah. I'm definitely going to try to find some new places this year.

Thanks, Skiddy! It has been my go to rod for these small creeks for sure! I need to give the FoxFire a real try this summer too. I haven't used it enough yet. The Mizuchi is another one that I need to use more this summer.

@@tntepicadventures I really love the MIzuchi. It's one of my favorites still.

One of mine too

Thanks so much! I loved making this video! I changed to a dry fly when I saw some surface takes. I changed to a heavier fly when I noticed no takes and I wasn't getting to the bottom of deeper holes (couldn't feel the fly hitting the bottom). Then I changed randomly to see if they worked or to make things interesting. I love doing tests/experiments with different flies, especially on me creeks.

@@tntepicadventures that makes sense. You said this was southern Utah. Does it get too hot for trout? We visit Saint George frequently but I’ve never taken my tenkara gear. Wondered if there were even any places to try down that way.

The mountains in that area are a great place to Tenkara fish. Download Trout Routes (you can use the free version) and it will show you some creeks to check out in that area. Then use Google Maps to check out the terrain for those creeks. You'll definitely find some down there! 😉

Thank you! I couldn't stop admiring them

Thanks, Chris! Those underwater shots only turn out like 1/4 of the time... 😂

Thanks so much! I love the Uinta Mountains! They are gorgeous

Thanks for letting me know! Part of the video was only in 2K but the next one is 100% 4K so it should look even better. I keep checking snow levels each day. I can't wait to get back up there!

It is so cool to be able to catch them in Utah nowadays!

I used a Royal Wulff at the beginning, then a green mosquito and did most of the Brookies on a Killer Bug.

Everyone could use more Grayling in their life! 😂 We'll have to go chase them together

I’ve caught them in a lake we backpacked into. This was before I knew about tenkara. Want to go back and try with tenkara and hit the creeks in and out.

Do it! I've caught them on spinner rods and Tenkara. Tenkara is so much funner to catch these fish on.

@@tntepicadventures pretty sure I fished this exact lake few years back with a fly and bubble. Renegade fly was crushing it. Last year was a lake east of this where we caught a bunch of grayling as well. How close was this creek to the lake?

I've never tried that! I'll have to give it a go.

He's getting so good! It's one of my favorite parts of fishing. The beautiful fish didn't hurt either. 😉

He's becoming quite the fisherman!

Thank you! 👍

I wish it was! This was back in September 2023.

I have a hard time going to these lakes instead of rivers sometimes but it's nice to change it up. I do love these lakes, just not quite as much as high mountain rivers. That's cool that you're spinner out performed everything else! It's fun to go back to the basics for sure. I can't wait for the snow to melt and be able to get back up there! It's amazingly beautiful!

It's my go to for small rivers/creeks. I absolutely love it! My son and I just tested it against the Dragontail FoxFire (video coming soon) and the Sharpshooter is still my favorite because it is stiffer (6:4), which makes is easier to land the fish. The FoxFire was more accurate in casting though. Just depends on your preference.

That is awesome! I love the Uintas and am so grateful that I live so close. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get back out there! It really is a heaven on earth. Thanks for watching

Agreed! On both. I take the whole family up the next weekend because it was so beautiful. I'm editing that video right now.

That's awesome! I'm honestly not sure that I'll ever do the slam again because of how hard this Yellowstone was. The key for me was sneaking up on the bigger holes and even blind casting into them to avoid spooking the fish. If you use the FishBrain app, you can find me there link.fishbrain.com/Ugvx and I'll give you more details.

Yeah, man! It was definitely the hardest one. I'm excited to do the Wyoming slam where the Yellowstone should be a lot funner.

@@tntepicadventuresno doubt and too many options to choose from rather than a select few. 😂😂
