Hey guys
I live in Salt Lake area of utah.Most weekends my wife and I go out to Vernal UT. Its about 3hours a way from Salt lake.There is a lot of small reservoirs that I like to fish(with tube or without).One of my highlight of last year took place on a little reservoir called Calder. It was the beginning of march so I thought that I would be able to get in to the hot ice off action.I got up there at first light and saw that it did't have any ice at all. I started with a bubble and a woolybugger. I fished for about 15 minutes with out a bit .I went to a Brown trout Rapala. It aws non stop action from there on. I was caught 15 rainbow trout in about 40 minutes.I didn't catch all of these fish in one place I kept movig toward the rocky point by the dam.It was a cool day with a little wind.I saw some fishing men fishing off the point so I was going to give them space and not fish near there spot. As i was walking up to them I saw a big school of trout in about 5ft of water.I told them what I saw. One guy ran over there and went right up to the shore and said"I don't see anything don't lie to us." I just shook my head and walked away. If he didn't know that he spooked the fish away I wasn't going to tell him.On the way back I decide not to be a nice guy and I fished where I saw those fish.Second cast I hooked in to a huge trout I brought it to shore when it came off my line. I didn't even think I just jumped into the water up to my knees bend down and scooped up the big rainbow and tossed it up on shore. I measured the big girl and put her back. YOU SHOULD OF SAW THE LOOKS ON THERE FACES.[shocked The fish was 22" long.It was a good day
