But I decided to drive and to do some fishing and flying along the way. I knew that I wanted to fly my sailplane at Nephi, so that was easy. But I was uncertain about productive fishing spots along I-15 between St. George and Salt Lake City. Then Eric reminded me that a recent speaker…Read more

From Pecos, Hwy 63 runs north up into the mountains, parallel to the Pecos River. At various points along the river, you’re on state park land, and at other parts, you’re on private land.

I’ve fished here a half-dozen years, each time in October/November. (CalTrans closes Highway 180 at the Hume Lake turnoff at the first snow every fall, usually by early November.)

The fish are small and wily, but I…Read more

In this episode from last fall, he interviews a geologist.
