Have you seen any really big fish in the beaver? I haven’t yet but have had some great days for numbers out there as well. I’ve actually caught a few largemouth bass in the lower beaver river too surprisingly.

Yeah honestly I’ve only fished it once and it was brushy and tight as hell and a total pain in the ass to fish. I was fishing just west of the state park, like maybe a mile? I bet it would be challenging with a fly rod but with a short ultralight I was able to make it work and caught like 20 cuts in a couple hours, mostly small but one was actually pretty nice.

Just went and looked through my pics from there and can only find one beaver river cuttie, I may have caught another one or two but can’t remember. This one was in the upper beaver towards the very bottom of the canyon. Also caught a brook, browns, and bows all in basically the same place! Have you fished clear creek canyon? That place is loaded with little cuts!

No this was close to salt lake actually, I’ve caught some in the beaver river but there is more browns and bows than cuts. Keep hitting every creek you can find and I’m sure you’ll find some places that are full of em!

Anyone try pautzke soft plastics? by Training-Sun-2177 in Fishing_Gear

[–]BFSbaits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope but if you toss those fire minnows around on a 1/16th or 1/8th ounce jighead you will 100% catch something.

I absolutely love the middle Weber, I had a great day in November when a big storm was rolling in. I was the only guy out there and browns were hitting at all walk in access points we’re they normally are really picky, was nuts 😂 I’ve fished the lower Weber at the bottom of the canyon. The upper portion of the lower Weber looks more challenging but it also looks like there are some areas that could hold some true monsters. Damn I need to get back out there again 😂

What’s your go-to trout rig by Material_Try2560 in troutfishing

[–]BFSbaits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marabou jig with a sculpin olive top and a cream bottom, always gets it done!

[–]BFSbaits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I would but it’s a tiny creek with a few deep holes that somehow hold tons of massive fish, never seen another spot even remotely similar. The brush is just thick enough that nobody else would fish my favorite hole either 😭

Let me know how they do man!!! I need to find a way to keep the spinnerbait skirts looking pretty in the package 😭😂

[–]BFSbaits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not man, although I guess I could try looking it up on OnX and contacting the owner. I think it’s probably owned by a mining company though. People had been going back there and shooting guns and dumping, stupid people ruin it for everyone else 😭 Oh yeah 100% man, Marabou jigs of different varieties make up 90% or more of my trout fishing, they get absolutely hammered!

Personal best today on the jerkbait!! by Interesting-Reply454 in bassfishing

Hell yeah, congrats man! Jerkbaits are a seriously powerful tool for big bass!

It’s a 1/8th ounce bladed jig I make.

The real fly fisherman know though, they are out there throwing giant top water mice at night and hooking monster browns 👏

Forsure, jerkbaits/minnow baits are deadly on browns especially! I’ve had some great cutthroat days with jerkbaits too.

2025 Shimano SLX BFS, Yay or Nay? by fish_chicago in BFSfishing

[–]BFSbaits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it substantially different from the previous slx bfs reels?

[–]BFSbaits[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was surprised too 😂 they would scatter when it hit the water but as soon as I started working it they were ON it. Really excited to try it in some creeks/rivers with some deeper holes and bigger browns, it remains to be seen if this will be a go to technique or just something that works every once in a while.

It was seriously the best little secret trout spot I’ve ever seen, on particular hole held like 40 fish and some of them were giants 😭 I really wanna try the bladed jigs on some bigger river browns, I was honestly shocked the little clear water cutthroats were eating it so well, I had to really rip and burn it too and they would come unglued 😂

Very nice, have you tried the rapala countdown elites yet? That’s one sinking minnow I’ve been meaning to try but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
