Only time ice fishing the berry. Only fish was under the slot.



A couple of decent Lower Provo Browns:



Big brown from Piute at ice off:



A couple of spawn colored bows from Scofield at ice off:





Fat bow from Piute:



23.5" tiger at ice off:



Love the speckles on this one from Electric:



Tiger from Joe's, followed by the top of a splake (same trip):





Decent cutt from E-lake:



Little brown with parr marks:



Productive bait gathering for the year:



Colorful bow:



Attractive tiger from Pete's:



Albino:



First fish on my fly rod:



Nice colors for summertime:



Nice walleye from Willard, followed by a decent wiper:





Same walleye, that evening[]:



Gorgeous cutthroat:



Same one:



23" Berry cutt:



My only decent smallie:

Those are the highlights of my year so far. It's not over though and I'll keep fishing until the end.[sly]

OK, here's mine. The first pic is by far the most important. 7 lbs. 7 oz on Oct. 11th. The rest are a few odds and ends from the summer. (with apologies to the float tube board members, who have seen many of these.)

Well, the utah musky god has spoken. Those are some nice fish. Allow me to bring my smaller ones to the altar in hopes that one day I can beat 42 inches... But like you said the soft water is not over yet!
