Sat. Aug. 24th UTOF Outting

[Doug S.]

I'd love to go to this I've never fished C.C. res. and would love to give it a try, only one thing holding me back...Old Truck and dont need New payment. I've figured out how to break down my kick boat so it will fit in the trunk of my car but 14 miles of unimproved road my (24 year old 78' Seville I "stole" from the origanal owner with 60000 miles on it) doesn't want to see that road, little ol'lady story. Anyway if anybody would like some company and has some x-tra room I'd split the gas or whatever. E-mail me @ jggjde51@hotmail.com P. S. maybe I'll drive as far as the turn off and just stand in the road with my stuff somebody's bound to have a soft heart for that !!! Just kidding let's go. Doug

[Trout4x]

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TRY AND CARPOOL WITH SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN YOUR AREA, HELPS ON GAS REDUCES TRAFFIC & YOU CAN HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK WITH.

WORK OUT LEAVING TIMES AND DEPARTURE TIMES SO YOU CAN FISH WITH SOMEONE AS LONG AS YOU WOULD LIKE.

SORRY I LIVE UP NORTH OR I WOULD.


TROUT4X

[Crosby]

I'll try and be there- may have another commitment to the north-
but would enjoy it- maybe get there Thursday night and stay over.

[Jeff Camomile]

Some people on fishwest have been talking about a "back way" to get to CC (via "Wolf Creek", or something like that, but they are not too clear). Does another way to CC exist, and if so, is it better/easier/shorter?

Anyone know?

[robinsoj]

As dirt roads go, the road to Currant Creek is actually fairly nice. It gets bumpy in spots, but it shouldn't be too rough on a regular car. Any back way would probably be worse. A carpool is always a good idea. I'd rather sit back instead of drive myself hehe. Say "Hi" to the snakes for me if you fish the stream...I miss 'em already.

[THeBLender]

and would like to carpool with someone. I could drive to the Salt Lake area (or some other place) and hook up with someone if need be. Unfortunately my '90 Honda Accord has been acting up and as a general rule doesn't do well on dirt roads that require more than 3 inches of ground clearance.

Not only that, but I commute about 85 miles a day with a broken radio so I've used up all of my cool stories and small talk - a drive that far might push me over the edge.

[Doug S.]

This is coming up next weekend anybody from Ut. County going up ? I could meet you anywhere and would split the gas, mow your lawn the rest of the summer, feed your dogs or whatever it takes. (Don't you hate sniveling) sp? Any way thanks,

[gware]

Hey Jeff and anyone else looking for the "back way". You can turn up co-oop creek road, it is just about 1 mile (maybe a little less) past the Strawberry Bay Turn off. It is a pretty good road suitable for most cars and is quite a bit faster than going all the way past the berry and up CC. I was there last week and did ok on the Res. did not try the stream but it looked real good. Hope you all have a great time, I will not be able to go due to a trip I have had planed to go to the Manti for a long weekend. Maybe if a lot of people go to CC I will have some of the fishing spots on the Manti to myself. If anyone wants to fish the Manti give fme a holler, maybe we can meet up.

[Doug S.]

I think I may try this way, Jason can you post a list of what's being brought already or what is needed ??

[flyfshr8]

That's gross.
Think I'll camp the night before and sore-mouth everything before you guys get there. Is the camp ground open? I'm leaving from Sandy and bringing an extra float tube and life vest if anyone needs help. (???????)

[Jason]

Sorry guys/gals, I'm been pretty busy and out of town so I've lost track of who's bringing what. Here's the list of what's needed. I'm bringing my gas grill.

-Buns
-Hamburger patties
-Ketchup and Mustard
-Cheese
-Lettus and Tomato
-Napkins,plates,utensils
-Potato Salad
-Potato chips
-Snacks/dessert

Please post what you're bringing. I think we'll have atleast 10-11 people coming so plan accordingly.

FANATIC, glad you can make it. Let us all know what flies have been working for you on the reservoir. We'll all probably have to stock our fly boxes before we head up there. Gracias.

[Trout4x]

Trout4x Cheese

[flyfshr8]

I'll bring hamburgers. How many?

[Trout4x]

Does anyone know just how many people are going? I know we will have some that say they are or have said they will. Just curious.

[Jason]

Here's the tentative list of who's coming so far.

Jason: Grill
FlyFishr8: Hamburgers
Mr and Mrs LandGuppy: Buns
Trout4x: Cheese
TheBlender
Walksinwater
BrandonCar
Crimedog?
Fanatic: Ketchup and Mustard
Doug S
Crosby?
Mike

We still need someone to bring a few more things. If you can still make it and would like to bring something please post a reply. I'll try and post a final update on Wednesday evening.

[THeBLender]

EOM

[Mike]

I guess I will do my napkin / plate / utensil duty.

[nhancock]

I am definately in and I may bring my brother-in-law (not the one mentioned in the previous post about poaching). I was planning on bringing a pasta salad but if you need something else I could easily bring something else.

Nate
(nhancock)

[Jason]

OK, here's the update as of right now. Still need:
-Lettus and Tomato
-Snacks/dessert
-Beverages

Jason: Grill
FlyFishr8: Hamburger patties
Mr and Mrs LandGuppy: Buns
Trout4x: Cheese
TheBlender: Chips
Fanatic: Ketchup and Mustard
Mike: Napkins and stuff
NHancock: Pasta salad
Walksinwater?
BrandonCar?
Crimedog?
Doug S?
Crosby?

BTW, looks like we will have some good weather and fishing should be fast and fun. Here's what Fanatic suggested to use for flies:
#8 2X Long Bugger. Yellow (seal sub) dubbed body with Black hackle. Tail was a sparsley tied black/yellow marabou. 20 wraps of .020 lead and a Black Tungsten head. Sinks like a rock.

That and a couple other buggers worked. But had the best success with the Yellow black.

I'll post more details tomorrow or Thursday.

[Doug S.]

Jason, Would love to go but after talking to some deer hunters that were up that way last weekend I dont think I'll drive my car on that road and it doesnt look like anybody's coming from my area. Anybody coming from the north that has x-tra room ? I could meet you in Heber. Anyway if something changes I'll post. Thanks Doug

[Jason]

OK, looks like everyone that is coming has posted. From my count, there will be about 12 people. Everyone should bring enough for 12 people and a little extra in case a few stragglers show up.

Here's the plan. From what I gather, most of us will be fishing the reservoir in the morning until lunch. Fanatic said fishing has been fast and furious lately using heavily weighted black/gold buggers with an intermediate line until about noon, when fishing slows down. Let's plan on meeting up at the boat ramp at NOON for lunch. Most of us will probably be parking near the boat ramp and launching our tubes/pontoons right there. I think there's a small usage fee. This should be a convenient place for everyone to meet. I'll be driving my red toyota truck and have the grill blazing away at noon. Fishing has been best from 6am to 11am. After lunch we'll probably do some more fishing on the reservoir or on the stream.

FYI, the boat ramp is on the far west side. The fastest and best way to get up there is to take the co-op creek road instead of the traditional road along Currant Creek. If you take the traditional way, you'll have to drive around the reservoir to the boat ramp, which is near the dam. The co-op creek road comes out on the west side so it's quicker. Fanatic said the road is descent right now so we shouldn't have any problems. If anyone has questions let me know. See you all Saturday. FISH ON!

[LandGuppy]

1. I noticed that drinks aren't on the list. Is this BYOB (bring your own beverage)?

2. Since the Mrs. and I have never fished Currant Creek, will anybody help point us the right direction?

3. Anybody alergic/repulsed by sesame seeds?

[Laughing*Trout]

I live in SLC and really want to go to this get together at curnt crick. I would fish on the stream with dry flies since i dont have sinking line and tube..... I was wondering who was going up. I could split the gas and probably pitch in for BEER! Who knows i might decide to show a few of you my top secret stream by Currant crick. Any help would be appreciated,my E-mail



youre_dead_homie@hotmail.com

[Jason]

Yah, let's plan on bringing our own drinks. We should be set on everything else. Like Fanatic said, it should be pretty fun.

Landguppy, send me an email if you need directions to Currant Creek Res. You might want to get yourself a good Utah map anyway. If you have the Utah Fishing Guide I believe they have a map in there to Currant Creek.

[MOKE]

This sucks! :(

So this other forum in Cali that I mention from time to time is having a beerfly social saturday also.
Rumors of single fly fishing women!!! ;)
(24th anniversary tonight folks! Its been awhile!)

Guess which one I'm going to?
AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Neither...are you guys happy?
If so just keep rubbing it in!

Purely kidding of course!

Hey......you guys need to have a tournament and jackpot or something!
The 1st Annual MOKE Wishin He Was Fishin' Cup!
A C&R Contest.

And if Fshfanatic comes off too hard as the lake local....he is forced to consume one pint of Deevine per fish as a handicap.

More pointless ramblings from the MOKE
Have fun and catch one for me!

Bye*

[LandGuppy]

I think I've got it covered. I have a good Utah atlas, and I think with the descriptions given we'll make it.

On a more unpleasant note, if we don't make it and somebody finds two skeletons in a maroon Corolla two years from now, please notify my parents. Thank you.

[Doug S.]

Jason, Looks like I'm coming after all is there something that got missed or I could double up on ?? Definetly don't want to come emptied handed. E-mail me or something....Doug

[Laughing*Trout]

I dont have sinking line...... thats a problem isnt it....No float tube either.... looks like im gonna have to fish my top secret stream....... if someones got some extra shit they should pack it.... wooly buggers>?? i gotta couple.

[Laughing*Trout]

to take the wolf creek way you take an exit past jordanelle via I-40 east. its clearly marked and there are sighns. You pass Francis,Woodland,and Mill hollow reservoir. Get a MAP!

[Greg M]

Jason,

It appears that you are still short on the condiments for the burgers (onions, tomato, lettuce etc.) I will be happy to bring that kind of stuff.

Are you still looking at 12 - 15 people?

Greg

[Curtis]

Yes it is. I threw out the eggs and mayo on top of the rods in my garbage can. Dairy is the same as the meat.

[Doug S.]

Greg, I've got that stuff covered, maybe some cookies or sweets of some kind ??

[Greg M]

Doug,

I will handle that cookies and sweets for all (I only wish I had Mokes secret recipe.....mmm, mmm good:)

One thought, did you include cheese? (no not targee cheese but some nice sharp chedar)

[Jason]

Sounds good Greg. Cookies or treats sound good. Plan on 13-15 people hopefully. Bring your own drinks. I'm sure Fanatic will bring the beer.

Remember, we're all meeting at the boat ramp on the west side at noon. Get there early if you plan to fish the reservoir because fishing has been HOT lately and the morning hours have been extra HOT. From what I'm hearing lately the co-op creek road is much quicker than the traditional route. If you take that road keep to the right and follow the signs. See you all then.

[Doug S.]

Trout 4x, Where's the cheese dude ?? Great burgers but no cheese....

[Jason]

Thanks to all that showed up today. We all had a good time but we didn't have any cheese. Fishing was pretty good in the morning and everyone caught some nice Bear Lake Cutts, but we still didn't have any cheese. At noon we all broke for lunch and grilled up some famous UOTFly burgers, but we didn't have any cheese, so no cheese burgers. After lunch a few of us hit some of the smaller streams in the area and had a ball, but again there was no cheese. It could have been an epic day if we just had some cheese. The closest thing we had to cheese were Fantatics farts. ;-) Thanks everyone for coming. It's always good to get together with some UOTFly folk.

[Mr. Loopy]

Jason-

So, I'm getting the idea that you guys could have used some cheese?

[Mike]

It was about as good a gathering as you could expect without cheese really...

[Trout4x]

It is sitting in the fridge, I would give you my sob story but you wouldn't care any way.

Nobody is more bummed about the cheese than I am!

[Jason]

No biggie 4x, we're just giving you a hard time. Sometimes other priorities besides fishing comes up. You realize that you're never going to live this down. You might as well just get your handle name changed to Cheese4x or something like that.

[Trout4x]

No problem here, other than I have cheese that needs to be used, so I guess you should plan another one.

Look at it this way, at least I didn't have the meat! You could have been eating grilled cheese instead.

[Greg M]

Can you believe it, we had a BBQ and fishing expedition without any cheese and we still had a blast.

Thanks Jason for showing a few of us the secret spot in the afternoon, to bad the fishing was slow. Except of course for the 27 inch rainbow that you caught (but no pictures, mmmm...)

One other item, I have to ask if anyone who ate the burgers had any adverse reactions. I woke up at 2 am and had to do the sprint to the restroom and spend the next little while driving the porcelain bus. I am hoping it was only me that ate something bad, not the burgers.

But even with that I want to say thanks for a great day.

Greg M

[Mike]

Greg, bad food and I are soon parted! I was fine and ate 2 burgers (no cheese!).

[MOKE]

Details, I'm asking for details.

Greg M......too much fun upset tummy? :)
With how cheesy this group is I'm surprised that you would need to import any! ;)

MOKE

[Larry S.]

Sounds like Greg could have really used the cheese!

[flyfshr8]

Greg M. - Had two, no problems! Maybe it was all the dust we swallowed on the way out....

Really enjoyed the outing with everyone! Especially the new hook set tactic BLender showed me, known as "puttin' the BLender on 'em!"

Almost had a triple with fshfanatic and Doug S.! Maybe on Schofield week-end after next? Would like to try Mantua too.
As long as we can get fshfanatic to leave the wrist-rocket and ballbearings at home!

[Doug S.]

Fanatic, Was it the beef or the 10 of 12 the night before ?? Anyway I had a blast caught fish and met new people and had a great burger with no CHEESE. Damn cheese would have been nice. Let's do it again. Man that road sucked.

[Doug S.]

Fanatic, Yea I partake in my share and "someone else's" I'm sure, (Beer) so it was with tounge (sp ?) in cheek( you know thay floppy thing in your mouth) that I was giving you crap, anyhoo sorry you felt like s**t . Let' s do the Berry or Scofield next time . (soooooon) Doug

[Trout4x]

To those that went and missed the cheese.

Send me your addresses and I will mail everyone a couple slices of cheese. This way I will feel better about myself.

[RAW]

Slices of cheese? I think I'll go for a fresh bag of curds from Gossners there in Logan. mmmmm. saltier the better. Besides the curds stay on the hook better than the slices. :)

[Trout4x]

Did you go to the BBQ? If so Curds it is (LOL), still cheese. They would melt a little odd on a burger.

[flyfshr8]

The result of eating too much cheese. Especially MRE cheese
:o{ >wwhheeww!<

[MOKE]

Its a Utah thing, sort of.....
Big cottage cheese lumps of cheddar cheese, basically.
Am I right here guys?
MOKE

[flyfshr8]

new cheddar before it's aged and made into blocks. Sometimes deep fried in beerbatter and chased with the same! Yum!

[Jason]

There was one gentleman that was at the get together by the name of Kent. Kent, if you read this, please send me an email. Thanks.
jason@utahonthefly.com

[THeBLender]

You get get all nostalgic and your mouth is totally ready for some Cache Valley CHEESE and then...

You're out, the fish aren't biting and you think "at least I have a big 'ol CHEESE burger to look forward to" and then...

Everyone brought enough good stuff to make the most killer CHEESE burger you've ever had but...

You're driving down a washboard road rattling the teeth out of your head and every time fanatic farts you think "That reeks!" -JK he didn't fart (much)

I will put the rest of my thoughts in another thread since I think they belong there.

[LandGuppy]

You know, I was OK with 15 miles of washboard roads rattling screws out of my car.
I was OK with getting nothing on the creek.
I was OK with everybody's attempts to make intelligent conversation.
But when I noticed my burger didn't have cheese on it, that's when it became not OK.

But seriously, fun time, good to meet those of you I didn't know.

[Larry S.]

Hey, being there is no meat can I come over to your house for grilled cheese sandwiches this afternoon? I'll bring bread. ;^)

[Trout4x]

You are welcome anytime. Grilled cheese sounds great!

MOKE you are right about the Cheese Curds. Larry brought some to the Mantua BBQ! They are pretty good.
