I did very well on the Blacksmith yesterday. I am pretty sure anglers from back east would have paid for a day like yesterday. And then the colors in the canyon were incredible also. The Blacksmith isn't a destination river but if you know it fairly well it can be a damn enjoyable river. It isn't always easy fishing an it does take more patience than the Logan or the Bear river Narrows but I have seen it's ups and it's downs for over 30 years and yesterday I fished in solitude and picked up a good mix of browns and cutts up to 14". Nothing huge but certainly a day I am glad I paticipated in.
