Fishing Quotes

[Jig-fisher]

I could write a novel about my fishing experiences growing up. My dad was an outdoorsman and when we went on vacation, we went camping/fishing. The Uinta's were where we woukd go and fishing the Spirit Lake area was a favorite. I leaned to fish small streams and backcountry lakes. Fly and a bubble or spoons on the lakes, drifting small piece of bait on the streams. Graduating to a fly rod years later.  I grew up in the Ogden area and near the Weber river and would walk to it. I learned a lot over the years especially how to read the water. My dad grew up in Huntsville and knew the landowners there.  We would fish all the rivers and streams up there growing up as well.  But I was exposed to other waters as well.  Willard during the heyday years of the crappie before shad were introduced.  We would fill a five gallon bucket with the 7 of us fishing. I learned to to catch big fish and how a drag works on the big carp in Pineview. Holmes Creek in Layton introduced me to Largemouth bass and floating Rapalas twitched on the surface and allowed to sit still for a bit would entice an explosive surface strike. A float tube was added when I was 13 years old and Ive been on the water ever since. Although primarily a trout fisherman growing up, I just enjoy catching fish and now chase all types of species.
