Fishing

Now that fall is here I decided it was time to spend a few mornings at mantua. I fished it 4 times in the last week or so. I had good days where I caught 10-12 fish and then days like to today where I caught only 4. I did get a chance to meet up with some BFT'ers in the process so that was cool too. I ran into and or fished with ..SatainLBZ801,RockyRaab and CoyoteSpinner.

I mainly caught trout but also mixed in a few bass and perch. I may hit it a few more times before the ice..Even when the fishing isn't that great at Mantua I always enjoy my time there, Something about that lake keeps calling me back.

Since most of the fish were standard planters I didn't take to many pictures but here are a few.

Another decent rainbow..


This was a double hookup Bow and perch...

It was nice meeting you out there. Good day for fishing, even if the catching weren't so great. Fall colors in the canyon alone made the drive worth it!

Any tugs is welcome tugs. (just don't ask jdawg about that )

Beautiful morning for sure!

Nice pics. Sounds like you had a good week.

Congratz !!! I wish I could have joined ya, looks like you had a blast

You got the mantua calling you I get the uinta calling me ever week just wanting to go up there again. I HATE THE GAS PRICE. If it was $2.30 like last year or 2 years ago id be in the uinta ever week it just calling me to go and catch the brookies and tigers >_< Nice job by the way man ^_^



Fly fishing season is just kicking off so let's make it a good season.
Have a happy fishing day.

Yeah I love the Uintas too but hate burning all that gas. Im lucky to live in Ogden. I have Pineview, Mantua, Weber and Ogden rivers all with in like 20mins of my house. The Ogden is literally 30 seconds from my house.To bad it hasn't been fishing very good this year... Well for me anyway.

Thanks Fishinfudd..

Sinergy.. Hopefully there's still some good fishing up there when you get your new toon rolling. I think that if the water clears up soon it will be awesome. I marked tons of fish on my finder..just couldn't figure them out as good as I would have liked.


Hers one last picture. I just got this from SatanLBZ801.

Ya uinta is far away but cping there for 3 or 4 days worth th gas money and hile up new lakes. Lets hope the gas price will drop big time again that would really help me. $40+ to fill my tank up all the way.That's sweet you live close to pine view, caught a few nice bass last year before camping price doubled. Gosh that killed me this year . The closest lake for me is Utah lake but rarely go there. I've been spending more time now on the Jordan river to try finding more channel kitties but only one this year.

Man I missed this post. Great to hear you got out. Was hoping to hear the bluegills were going nuts for you. Still rainbows are nice but I have them closer to home. Well I guess you could say that for everything in Mantua for that matter.

I will get you on the ice my friend!

Im considering ice fishing this year. Can I use my flyrod?

I have some "ice flies" for you to use. Now you could dip the line in the hole. Just stand back a bit is all. Hell why not put the fly reel on the ice rod?

Close your eyes and you could imagine you are "dipping" a fly in a small uinta creek!

Expensive PVC coated fly line down a 6" or 8" hole with sharp edges......YIKES. You could fish flies however. I am tying several for just that purpose. Not me, but my brother. JLG, you still got your spinning gear

Haha! Yeah I was kidding about the fly rod. I just never had even the slightest interest in ice fishing but soooo many people keep telling me to try it. I might give it a shot. I just never have really seen the need for it in my case because I usually keep fishing rivers through winter. But like I said Ill probably give it a try this year.

I'll get you ice fishing this year! Tent, heater, ice pole, good to go. All of which I have and you can borrow. You get to pull the sled though ;)

I thought you were trying to talk me into going?!?!?!
Im gonna need a lot of whisky...

That's the beauty about whiskey... It's freeze around -13 F. Something stronger even colder! **CHEERS**

I hear you. Every year, people try to convince me to take it up, but it just doesn't sound that appealing to me either. I'd much rather fish a creek or river with my fly rod than sit over a hole in the ice. Besides, my wife would kill me if I told her I was buying a bunch of new gear for it.

He just need to toss a RFP and he will catch all the fish he wants.

Ok... I give up. What the !#@$ is RFP?!?!??

and please don't say Red Flavored Powerbait.

Exactly.

It's the random fly pattern XD it's so random no one knows what it is

• 24 proof liquor freezes at -6.7°C (20°F)
• 64 proof liquor freezes at -23.33°C (-10°F)
• 84 proof liquor freezes at -34.44°C (-30°F)

These freezing points are much colder than the average home freezer will reach, so chilling or storing a bottle in the freezer should not freeze the liquor inside. However, your freezer could get cold enough to freeze low proof liqueurs, beer and malt beverages. These low proof beverages will get slushy, and eventually freeze, if left in the freezer for too long and can explode leaving a big, frozen mess if it gets too cold.

Sounds like you're ready to hit the ice as well this year eh!?

I do not walk "on" water
