Category Archives: Alpine Lakes

Utah features many high altitude alpine lakes. The unknowing traveler may stumble upon any one of these and catch nothing. If you are lucky the lake will be large enough and deep enough to support the trout that occupy an old man’s fishing tale at your local watering hole.

Spring fun

Bass fishing is upon us and the MKFF crew has taken notice to the eager bass awaiting our arrival. Enjoyment and serenity have engulfed local bass with a false sense of security!! Now is our time to strike while the plucking is ripe.

We at Moose Knuckle have been casting away into the dark cool spring Jersey waters testing our new gear to catch the best fresh water fish for our administrator friendly fishing competition. Through hours and hours of tiresome fishing (and beers of course) we have gone through 3 lead changes on top 3 biggest bass for the bass competition. (this is big considering that we have had full membership for approximately 1 week). Here, in this blog, I will give you a quick run through of some of our biggest bass thus far. I hope you enjoy the pictures and story, and remember, pictures barely give these fish justice. 🙂

The current leaders were all caught within a 24 hour window of each other! It has been an amazing week so far but we have ended up with a 6.06 pound bass stuck in first place (in jersey waters). Time will tell what else will happen in this fun battle for Moose Knuckle bass supremacy!! Here are a few more pictures to help highlight the fun and excitement that the Moose Knuckle crew has been having. We hope you enjoy as much as we have!

Utah High Altitude Brook Trout

Nice Catch
Caught on Wooly Bugger in Southern Utah

Brenton was able to land this beauty with a Wooly Bugger fished on 4X tippet material. On this day he used the two inch slow retrieve causing the Wooly Bugger to undulate in a pattern similar to a leech. This was effective due to the large amount of leeches in the high latitude lake. This abundant food source allows the Brook Trout to overcome its short growing season at 10,000 feet, creating an impressive specimen.
