| Mark with a nice December trout |
Mark and I made our annual trip to the Provo River, Utah for a day during December (to take a break from skiing). We both caught 3 nice fish nymphing.

On my most recent trip, I visited Northern California with Mark. We fished East Creek in the Southern Warner Wilderness-

Lots of small Redband Rainbows on Black Ants and Buggy Caddis (though they were quick and hard to set); nymphed the upper Pit successfully with Caddis Pulpae; caught several nice Rainbow on the Hamilton Branch with a Brassie Soft-Hackie I made-up; and, did well on upper Goodrich Creek with a Stimulator as a Hopper.

Late August, 2003
I spent four days fishing Yellowstone National Park. I did very, very well on the lower Soda Butte with Soft Hackles. I was pleased with my efforts at the Second Meadow of Slough Crteek on a emerging Green Drake Pattern and a caddis Pupae pattern. I suched at Cascade lake trying to get a Grayling. And, I was on and off on the Lamar: off with the obvious Hopper patterns, but enjoyed throwing the emerging Green Drake pattern. (Also suched on the upper Soda Butte no matter what I did).
