the river damsel pages home the reel rd fish flash damsel 2011 2012 quickfire interview 20 questions rd fishy vids windknot spotlight adventure train thursday september 10 2026 warm water the summer is slowly winding down the last two months have been difficult for trout fishing the water in the rivers and lakes has been too warm to safely catch and release fish scouting new areas and higher elevations has been part of the weekly homework assignment there have been a few mornings that i would fish before noon and just make it a shorter day terrestrial fishing has always been a fun part of summer on the fly and i did have a few of those days hopefully more next year hoping for a good snowpack this winter that will fill our reservoirs again there were a few good days for catching bass on the fly it is always fun to do that i love their fight and it is a great alternative when you are dealing with the warmer water thank heavens for bass the bass had some fun that day there were lots of pretty trout earlier in the summer of course there has been a bit of cooking and kitchen duty in between goodbye summer we are ready for cool fall fishing days posted by the river damsel at 9 06 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday july 12 2026 semi annual update yes i am still alive and well it seems that i misplaced my laptop for a few months not really still rehabbing a knee and just awfully busy with life in general there were a few trips that involved a fly rod and a net my annual three amigo trip was in april back to montana we went one of my favorite trips with great buddies then there was a quick three day trip to pyramid lake in nevada this is the home of those famous giants the lahontan cutthroats you work very hard sometimes for that once in a lifetime fish i struck out this round my two friends waited it out that last night i packed up and headed to the hotel 40 min away i was going to make the 8 hr trip home the next day at the hotel i got a text with a couple of amazing pictures the girls waited till sundown and got their rewards so awesome i just had nothing left after 10 hours of casting and standing for long periods of time kudos to them the next day i headed down the road to my special redemption spot haha i had to catch a few fish on this trip and yes i found a few nice rainbows to finish up my fishing trip with needless to say my skunk outing at pyramid quickly faded away and my eight hour trip home was much more enjoyable i poured my m m s into the cup of my center console and off i went another adventure completed that takes care of january til april i will come back and fill you in on may and june soon take care of yourselves and always fish with a smile rd posted by the river damsel at 4

signing up with a new registrar here i am a big thank you to sitesbysara com who brought it all back my little blog is pretty darn sentimental to me and i now appreciate it a lot more than ever before i am in the process of picking out my favorite stories to publish into a book for my kids and grandkids something for them to remember crazy grandma fish and her many adventures so much to be grateful for this holiday season i have a great family and a great job i didn t get in my 80 plus fishing days in this year due to the continuing knee problem after a tkr two and a half years ago but i just had a knee revision 6 wks ago soooo i am ready to hit the water march 1st i am already seeing improvement and i m ahead by 3 wks with my pt watch out fishies i expect more flies to look like this at the end of the day posted by the river damsel at 5 17 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday august 11 2025 higher elevations it is august and it is hot hot hot in the valley it is in the 90 s and that calls for heading to the hills i usually don t do much fishing in august trying to find water that is cool enough to catch and release in is the challenge so the high alpine lakes are the best bet we have some beautiful lakes in the high uintas wilderness area these snow specked until july craggy peaked mountains and trails that weave between ponderosas and aspens never disappoint there are over a 1 000 natural lakes in this mountain range they say that one could never visit each one in their lifetime ha i know that i won t many beautiful streams wind around these lakes and in all there are probably 400 mi of waterways rainbows brown trout brook trout tiger trout cutthroats grayling a wide assortment just bring a chair and enjoy the solitude and the best part it was 68 beautiful degrees air temp win win posted by the river damsel at 8 41 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest older posts home subscribe to posts atom my splash page about me theriverdamsel r d incoming and outgoing followers do i like to fish riffles welcome to the river damsel s blogsite as an avid flyfisher i have come to realize that there is more adventure in the riffles of the river as it is in life if you listen and watch the river you will understand more about the complexity of what lies beneath it is truly an ongoing adventure a beautiful journey and a very gratifying one about me the river damsel the river damsel hails from tustin ca and now resides in salt lake city ut i can attest that it is totally possible to do anything you want to do live life to the fullest i decided to make some changes in my life a few years back it was when i picked up a flyrod that i knew that i was filling a void in my life i was hooked the outdoors is where i find my inner peace away from the busy daily life it gives me that time of solitude meditation and enjoyment i love the continued learning about the river and the many inhabitants that live in it and around it my journey has taught me about nature people and mostly me thanks to those special friends that have shared their knowledge and talents with me so that i could enjoy the adventure even more xo view my complete profile small fry popular posts the rd adventure train 2013 another year has come and gone but not without adventure and
