Hey ya'all fishing dudes and dudets. I have been a stalker on this site for a long time gathern great tips and ideas for my next family adventure - figured maybe it was time to give back a bit, so opened an account and, ya going to try to share.
Just a bit of background. My wife "Cookie" has MS and my middle son "Buckwheat the bearded wonder" is disabled and in a chair from birth so a lot of our adventures are making that work in the outdoors, but we get it done
onto a report
Yukon the cowboy-pirate and his band hit Utah and Willard this weekend. Started Friday at Utah lake. Pushed the wheel chair out to the end of the south dike at Lincoln and threw out a couple catfish rods. Zero action. Tossed a bunch of plastic and steel trying to make a whitie mad, but also struck out on that with just a couple light hits and no hookups. Water was low 40ish. Sad to see all the trash on the dike, wished I would have had a garbage bag with me. I know its a bit early for Utah Lake, but man was it pretty.
Wandered towards Willard saturday. Got side tracked on the bird refuge first watching the swans. Then got the itch to drag out the metal detector - found lots of sinkers but no pirate treasure. That only left us a bit of daylight, but just to say we did we tossed in a rod on the south dike at Willard. Also no action. We did see a lot of CATMEN on the banks in the refuge. Saw one confirmed catch on cutbait.
Its going to be a great spring. Cant wait to hit Powell. Keep the lid on the worms and wave if you see the pirate crew.
