Any day fishing is better than any day at work.
My first trout caught using nightcrawlers and jet puffed mini-marshmallows.
Antimony burger lunchenjoyed at the nearby Antimony Mercantile after a hard morning of troutfishing.
Later that evening we grilled our trout on the BBQ and enjoyed a delicious trout supper.
This morning I went with a friend into the mountains in search of elk antler sheds. The big bulls drop their antlers every year around the first of March. A lot of hunters in the area like to hike in search of these discarded antlers. It was interesting to learn more about the terrain and [...]
On the way home from work yesterday I spotted this bald eagle perched atop an old cottonwood tree. Eagles have a special place in my heart because of my many great experiences with the Boy Scouts of America. The scouting program was a big part of my youth and the source of some of my [...]
My neighbors youngest son Ty Peterson shot this nice buck on the Henry Mountains earlier this morning. The nice Utahbuck measures approx. 31 inches wide and is a 6X5. The main branches have a strange web-like structure to them where they widen out. He said that he located the deer on Saturday but missed him [...]
I guess there was a shortage of creative and meaningful names when they named a few lakes in the mountains near my home. We first came to a lake called “Big Lake” and then we passed by “Duck Lake” before reaching our final destination “Deep Lake”. We were looking for some solitude and some good [...]

Smallmouth bass fishing is one of the funnest activities I’ve ever enjoyed outdoors. The action is fast-paced and the Smallmouth Bass are great fighters. One of my favorite fishing spots in Southern Utah for Smallmouth’s is Enterprise Reservoir not far from the Utah/Nevada border. In the past the fish were very healthy from a good [...]
We decided to have an offsite meeting on Thursday so we headed up the road to Fish Lake. It is located in the Fishlake National Forest and is one of Utah’s most beautiful mountain lakes measuring over 160 feet deep. It is the largest natural lake in the state and is famous for it’s trophy [...]
With Father’s Day coming up this weekend I feel fortunate to have spent an enjoyable evening this past week fishing with my Dad. We have both enjoyed fishing for as long as I can remember. It has proven to be one of those treasured memories for me where we can both escape the stresses of [...]
