Causey Reservior and Ogden South fork.

[waltny]

Had one of these moments with the wife on Sudnday and had to get out. Gear was already in the truck and I headed for the mountains with no particular destination. I found myself along the weber and decided that since I hit it last week I head up to Causey for a picture taking excursion and fish the Ogden south fork and then the Ogden back down the cayon. I had hoped that the leaves would still be in color over trappers loop but to no avail. They have all turned and are dull in color on the way to the ground....

I ended up spending almost all day at Causey beacuse of these guys



I had been over in the wheatgrass arm taking some pics, here are a few






and headed back toward the dam and up to the lookout point and the cliff jumping point

.
While hanging out on the dam I noticed the surface exploding and wondering what was rising I took my fly rod and spinning rod with a brass blue fox attatched of course to see what was going on. I couldnt get any action on the fly rod no matter what I tried and said what would it hurt to toss the spinner. Well cast after cast of the splake were hammering my lure(as seen above). I couldnt get very many pictures of these guys as even the little dinks were waterwalking fighters. IM assuming that they just stocked causey with these as they seemed to be schooled right there on the dam ready to hammer whatever came their way. I must have caught 20 or more of the size of the one pictured down to just a hair over the size of my lure!
Anyhow my hands were freezing from getting wet from messing with the little guys that I decided to move down to the spillway on the south fork


I got skunked down here, but I think it holds some good size fish. Ill have to get up there earlier next time and really work it from the spillway down behind the memorial park. Ill let you all know after the fact.

Nice pics

Causey is nuts! I'll have to go during high water next year and hit some of those steep drop-offs in my tube. Thanks for the pics.

The water starts to drop serious around the end of May Im told. If you see the cliff on the far right that ledge I jumped off quite a few times and I had a guy come pass and tell me that was the water level around May. So about 2 months later it was down about 20 feet or so. It all depends on the snowpack we have this year I guess. When you do decided to head out to my "mistress" let me know....
