Santa Clara River Utah Spring Fishing

Biggest fish I've caught in this river

Needless to say Jimmy and I have not done enough fishing that past couple of years. We saw a window of opportunity open up to run up to Pine Valley Utah and fish a little river (stream) called the Santa Clara river. The water was flowing pretty good because of the snow melting. Jimmy first tried a san jaun worm and had a few bites. I put on a zebra midge with no luck. Then Jimmy through on a bead prince nymph and started catching a few small browns. I through a black wooly bugger to see if I could dead drift it or strip it across a few holes. I didn't catch anything until we moved up to the big hole right below the spill way of Pine View Reservoir. Here a few pics of our catch.

Santa Clara River Utah Fishing Report June 6th 2011

Jimmy and I decided to run up to the Santa Clara to do a little fly fishing. The water was running pretty high still because of the heavy snow this year. We caught a few little browns but nothing to write home about. We used san jaun worms and zebra midges.
