Tibble Fork - American Fork Canyon

Dan, Jessica, Steve (Dan's Father) and I went fishing today up American Fork Canyon. We had a great time catching fish and enjoying the beautiful scenery. You can see Dan fishing by the little stream entering the lake.









Across the lake Jessica was fishing with her new found friend. He was a very nice old genetlman who helped her rig her line and take off her fish.












Dan fly fishing. Check out that back cast. Nicely done Dan.











Dan also used a silver lure to catch fish. He got a new fishing pole and reel and put it to good use today. Nice catch !!
















Jessica and Dan enjoying their alone time before Jacob comes. I can't wait to go fishing with Jacob.
















I spent most of my time fly fishing. The fish really liked the hares ear nymph.










The fish and I battled and had a short encounter before I let it go.
















I was tempted to eat it but ...... I ate so much fish at Otter Creek. Lucky for this fish. Ha!

















Dan having fun. Dan and I were talking about how nice it was having waders to fish in. The water is very cold and without them it becomes very hard to stay in the water for an extended period of time.













This is an image looking up the little stream coming out of the mountain.








Here is another one of my many fish caught today (brown trout). I talked with Grandma on the phone before going fishing and she gave me her luck. I am serious she passed the luck to me and boy I had it today. I kept pulling in fish. Thanks Grandma !! I will give you back your luck when we go to Scofield. Ha!
