Spring Ice Off Fishing at Utah's Famous Strawberry Reservoir

Ice off fishing at Strawberry can provide fast and furious fishing for lunker sized cut throat trout. Fishing the shallows can be very productive using a small ice fly and fishing it at the edge of the ice flow.

Sea Kayaking on Lake Powell Utah

With over 2,000 miles of shoreline, Lake Powell offers some of the best inland sea kayaking in the lower 48 States. The beautiful views and endless white sandy beaches are worth the paddle in themselves. With more options for beach camping than you can imagine, this is a true escape for the beginning or advanced kayaker. Hundreds of side canyons one can easily get lost in so make sure you take a map and know how to read it.

To 2007! Happy New Year!

Well, we all made it! Well I am assuming you did as well if you are reading this post. 2006 was quite the year. As I reflect back on the successes and failure of this year, I look ofrward to 2007 with a fresh start.I did not get out hunting as much as I would have liked this year, but the time I did get to go out, I learned some valuable lesson for the upcoming seasons.

My passion is mule deer hunting. Being raised out here in Utah gave me a lvoe for these beautiful animals from a very young age. I have made a life long quest to persue and protect these incredible creatures. I have been luck enough to harvest two true trophies which are proudly hanging in my front room, with a muzzle loader and look forward to many more opportunities to get out and hunt them.

In 2000, I picked up my first bow and put the old 54 caliber Great Plains Rifle in the cabinet and it has pretty much stayed there ever since. Bow hunting has now become my prefered weapon of choice, and although the learning curve is great, I have found new enjoyment in getting out and truly enjoying the hunt again. It has opened up a year long challenge now to tune, refine, perfect and improve my equipment and skill level. It has been a blast!

If you are interested, here is my equipment list:
  • Bow - Whisper Creek Innovator Pro, left handed with a 32 1/2" draw, set at 65 lbs
  • Sights - Trueglo 5 pin set up
  • Quiver - Truglo Detachable
  • Arrows - Carbon Express, Teminator Hunters
  • Broadheads - Steelforce 125 Gr
  • Arrow Rest - Whisper Bisket QS
  • Release - Scott Archery

These are in testing now and under review. I hunted this set up last fall and only got one shot off at a buck.. and missed at about 35 yards. Tougyh shot. The buck entered my tree stand area on a trott and never slowed down.

I got one breif opportunity, took the chance... and missed, arrowing slightly over his shoulders and burying the arrow in the snow behind him.

I am also reading many great books on the topic of tuning the equipment and honing in my skills and will be sharing more information on them this year.

Thanks for tuning in and bookmark this page now for more great adventures in the back country with the Trail Master!
