Alpine Lakes Slam!
44th Day Fly Fishing – Uinta Mountains Lake, August 18th, 2022 Yesterday was a lot of fun! Most of the time I would prefer to chase big fish over catching bigger numbers of smaller fish. But sometimes I like to change it up. Slams are fun and not every fishery supports 3 or more target […]
