Somewhere in Utah - With Colby Crossland

There’s a river in Utah that is a dry fly paradise. Blue-winged olives, cicadas, caddis, sallies, hoppers, beetles and ants. 

The river has them all and the trout love to eat them especially the large trout.  

Throughout the summer and fall the mosquitos can be really thick and aggressive on the lower river. 

Having a River Quiver full of rods ready to go makes for a quicker experience getting on and off the ramp.  That leads to fewer bug bites and clients that are more comfortable and relaxed.

When your clients are at ease they fish better.  No one sets the hook well when you’re worried about what that tickle is on the back of your neck.
