Utah Cutthroat Slam II - Day 5

With the slam complete, we bid farewell to Duchesne and fished our way home, starting at the Strawberry in town, where we all found a few more fish, then up below Starvation Dam, where to landed a fat 18-inch brown and lost a monstrous one right below the dam. I found a couple small ones, but that was it. We decided to give the Weber a try on the way home, but first made a stop at my favorite beaver dams, where I caught a dozen nice cutts in several ponds, while Tom and Dover fished another.
Pretty fish from a series of small beaver ponds
We found the Weber with many fisherman, even though it was mid-week, and a squall was blowing in, but we found an open access and gave it a try. I had one 15-inch or so rainbow come up and slash at a bugger, but I think that was about it with our fairly brief stop. No fish at the last stop, but we had plenty of memories and fish from this week together. We'll have to do this again!
