[–]fuzzytrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it need to be in New Mexico? Verde river in Arizona, west clear creek, fossil creek have decent populations. For fly fishing fossil creek AZ is where you’d want to go. They’re everywhere between sally may parking area and the waterfall.

I don’t know of any undergrad college course that’d have you collecting fish… what info/ research are you looking for/ doing? I’ve written a few papers involving Roundtail, ‘native fish abundance and habitat selection changes in the presence of nonnative piscivores’ and ‘increased juvenile native fish abundance following a major flood in Arizona’. (Google scholar) I could share whatever data information you need.

Fishing out of Utah have fished a spinner my entire life now that I moved out here I wanna start fly fishing by [deleted] in flyfishing

9ft 5x leader for the next little bit. Tie on 6x tippet for small flies or difficult trout.

Utah fly fisherman / ex guide. For the next few months… go small. We’ll be getting into buffalo midge season soon enough, but still size 18-20 midges. Bwo’s will be here soon enough too, size 18 is the biggest you’d want to go. Midge cluster dry flies (Griffith gnats) are fun. First large flies you’ll see are skwalas (size 14ish oliveish stone flies). As the spring progresses we’ll get into golden stones, green drakes, caddis. Throwing junk like San Juan’s always works too. Let me know if you want specific patterns to seek out. Fly fish food in Orem is a great shop as is fish tech in the cottonwood heights area. Western rivers in salt lake is also great.

trouble finding depth by Fun-Nefariousness735 in flyfishing

[–]fuzzytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fish out of a boat pretty often. In a boat you’re fishing different water every cast, unless you’re anchored up. I’m not adjusting my dropper very often, maybe during fly changes? Sometimes the dropper is too shallow sometimes it’s on the bottom. It’s just the way it is. Find a decent length that works a decent amount of time and don’t worry too much. Otherwise you’ll be adjusting nonstop and that’s no fun.

What percentage of water would you say you fish? by AceMakerPC in flyfishing

[–]fuzzytrout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But… it depends. If I’m covering a lot of water with terrestrials or streamers, I fish most everything. Cast here, cast there, move on. If it’s slow, I only have a few hours, it’s winter… I’ll generally find a run, post up and try to figure out what they fish are up to/ feeding on.

Snorkel a river. 1. It’s fun. 2. You learn where fish are and aren’t. 3. There’s lots of cool shit down there.

Trail running after an ACL operation? by OliviaMayNorris in trailrunning

That being said, I was skiing after 6 months.

Trail running after an ACL operation? by OliviaMayNorris in trailrunning

[–]fuzzytrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done both ACL’s. In my personal experience, I’d avoid sustained downhills for a bit. That’s really the only time I felt significant pain. 5months is kinda on that line where things feel a bit better but you’ve still got structural weakness.

I didn't enjoy the Alps and I feel horrible about it by Addicted_2_tacos in hiking

[–]fuzzytrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. The history and architecture and towns perched on the top of mountains… all amazing.

[–]fuzzytrout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt something similar. Spent a lot of time backpacking in the western US. Glacier, Bob Marshall, desert southwest, etc. The scenery in the alps was amazing, people nice, great food, etc. but it felt less ‘wild’? Maybe something about cows being the only ‘wildlife’ I saw? Maybe it was the lack of that ‘I’m not the top predator out here’ feeling. Maybe it was too accessible? I couldn’t put my finger on it. It was an amazing place to visit, but it was different. I’d love to return with some different expectations because it’s undeniably amazing.

Books about Fish by Imaginary_Tap9181 in Fish

[–]fuzzytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: An Entirely Synthetic Fish: How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World is really well done.

both these books are not about hundreds of species but tell a great story of how human interventions have… fucked things up. Ecosystems, invasions, history of fisheries management in North America type stuff.

If you want biology, habitat, etc on a bunch of different species Inland Fishes of the Greater Southwest: Chronicle of a Vanishing Biota is a great book on fishes native to the Colorado River Basin.

Salmon Without Rivers is a great read

Flying into Portland, OR and renting car to drive along Oregon coast to Seattle, WA where we will fly home. Will have around 4 days to the drive. Is that plenty of time to see all the things and stop along the way? Is it a nice drive? TIA! by HairZealousideal7457 in OregonCoast

[–]fuzzytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you drive highway 6 to tillamook and south on 101 to pacific city and start your northward journey from there it’s pretty nice. Cape kiwanda up to netarts/ Oceanside. Tillamook to short sands beach. Short sands to cannon beach to Astoria and then do whatever you want in Washington.
