The fall is a good time seek big fish in Utah and the West. I had the pleasure last week of tagging along with my buddy Brent Stout for his now annual fly-fishing excursion to Bear Lake to fish for lake trout. We were on the water before the sun came up. I only managed a 10-pound carp, but Brent hooked into this 28-inch laker with his 8-weight fishing in 12-18 feet of water. I was trying to unhook my catch without touching it when Brent hooked up, so Brandon Thomas was holding the camera and managed this cool release video. The same day a story about a monster brown caught in Montana by a Utah fly guy started making the fishing circles.
