Being Ready For The Click

JayMorr — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:05:37 +0000

Almost 15 years ago I entered into Yellowstone National Park for the very first time. Excited about my first trip to the park, I had packed my Pentax point and shoot camera. I looked forward with great anticipation in getting some wildlife photographs. I spent the day taking photos of Bison, Elk and other animals that we came into contact with along side the road. Half way through the day Continue reading

The Annual 2011

The Annual "Up North" did not fall short of high expectations. It is a trip that I look forward to every year. I get to spend time with Bobby and add a new print to his cabin wall. Great fishing is always bonus. The "Boogie Man" .... yeah....SLUT-HOOKER. Thanks Galloup! Great seeing you. Great company this year. Goodman, Haslam, Jay C., thanks for the laughs. I hope you all Continue reading

Summer’s End

The Summer Season flew by. A record breaking snow year put water levels high on most of Utah's streams. I spent time up North, on some fun lakes and with my boys. Hoppin' & Poppin' are two of my favorites Continue reading

The Golden Rollingstone

JayMorr — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:43:04 +0000

It is a trip I look forward to every year. Fabled water, the serenity, the landscapes...it is the only water that haunts me. Precise casts laid up underneath over hanging limbs and dark undercut banks are challenging. Difficult fly drifts are rewarded with fat slabs of rainbow joy. Clint Goodman will be pleased to hear that his "Golden Rollingstone" was stuck in the corner of a fishy grin. I Continue reading

Spring 2011

JayMorr — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 04:30:12 +0000

It has been a fun Spring. I chased Tiger Muskie and got some nice shots of Casey Birkholz and Travis Ruiz. Jason Haslam and I spent time with Old Moe Guide Service on the Green River. Doug Roberts put us into some beautiful fish. "Yeah there is no fish on the Green. Right Doug?" I would highly recommend booking a trip with Doug Roberts next time you are on Continue reading

WHY?

JayMorr — Thu, 26 May 2011 22:41:11 +0000

"WHY?" Have you ever asked yourself why you fish or why you wield a camera? What is your purpose, intent, focus? Certainly it is different for each of us. It is a deep question and similarly results in a long answer. I have spent a considerable amount of time pondering the question..."WHY?" This post is not a feeble attempt to step up on a pedestal and spray. Much to Continue reading

Body Dropping – The Mayflies Are Hatching

JayMorr — Thu, 19 May 2011 18:30:05 +0000

The cooler weather temps and moisture have prolonged some of the prolific mayfly hatches around my home. Each year in March and April, the first signs of the Mayfly hatch take place. Neighboring ponds and clogged rooftop rain gutters have these little guys clinging to the side of my home and yard bushes. Callibaetis are my favorite. It is something I look forward to with the glass in great anticipation Continue reading

Fisherman’s Tailgate

JayMorr — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 21:04:05 +0000

I took this shot of Casey & Brika over the weekend. It is a classic example of a fly fisherman's tail gate. Gear is scattered and piled in the back of the truck. Over the years I have had many fishing vehicles. The tailgate has always been an essential part of the fishing experience. I have tied countless flies on the make shift table top, it has been the bench Continue reading

Wyoming Cast

JayMorr — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:29:05 +0000

Utah has record snow levels for 2011. Flashbacks of the 1983 floods have already become a grim reality for many landowners in the State. By this time of year Spring run-off has usually ended. It was time to take a drive north and hit Wyoming. All I can say is that is was unusually cold and the fishing was slow. I landed a very nice brown trout that pushed Continue reading
