Hey everyone I spent the long weekend in the basin and the north slope of the uinta's.
On Saturday morning I hit the old bass pond and caught 3 small bass on cranks and buzzers and 3 bluegills on a jig and night crawler setup. I fished from my float tube from first light to 9:30am along the dam. There was only myself and a Bass boat on the lake until 9:30. It was weird for Labor day weekend.
Later that day we went camping near Spirit Lake. I took my son fishing for the first time in the stream behind our campsite. We had a blast. My son just turned 3. He had a hard time holding my pole by himself so I held the pole and he brought the fish in. We fished for a hour and a half before dinner and caught 37 beautiful small cutthroats.After dinner we hit the stream again with the same success. We caught 10 cuttroats and 3 rainbow's.
On Sunday we went down to Browne lake. My brother and sister in law went with my son and I. The fishing was slow at first but it picked up. My son caught 10 Rainbows and 1 Brookie with a little help[
].We used power bait and worms. We went back to vernal later that night. My son wanted to go fishing again on Monday morning so I took him to the old bass pond and caught small gills and sunnies for a hour and a half. We caught 17 and played in the water. He had so much fun that he would tell anyonewho would listen to him about the Bluegills that he caught with his Dad.
I had a wonderful weekend with my son fishing. I think I now have a fishing buddy for life.
