Greetings from Utah

[Wasatch_B]

surfed the web, stumbled upon the forum, liked the active and positive community, and though I would join.

I live in Utah, at the base of the Wasatch mountains.

I have been smoking cigars for 5 years.

Enjoy smoking the usual suspects.

I also love detail, so the many nuances of the cigar world suits my personality.

Hope to get to know a few you gents and gals from here on out.

Nice looking buck (av), Jonesry09. Great to see a fellow hunter and cigar smoker on the forum--I'm sure there are many.

Welcome from MD

 

[Wasatch_B]

Thank you for the warm welcomes.

@plumber1965, has there ever been a BOTL Utah meetup?

If not, it would be fun to organize one. If you like fly-fishing, it would be fun to
combine the two, though the wind can be something else on the Middle Provo.

Welcome from the Jersey Shore!

 

[xjtony]

Welcome. I'd be in for a Utah herf.

 

[plumber1965]

No BOTL meetup since i got here in march but doesnt mean we can't, Am a fisherman but not fly.

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

Fly fishing sounds awesome. My brother and I were just talking about wanting to learn after watching some extreme fly siding show

 

[Wasatch_B]

I have 3 fly rods, reels, and line and enough gear--flies, tippet, etc. to easily rig a dozen or more rods.

Would work best if we all rotated between enjoying cigars and fishing different runs--along a decent sized stretch of river.
I'd be happy to get guys going and showing them the ins and outs of fishing the Middle. Would be worth it to get a Utah herf
and hopefully get some fish on the line.

Here's a few photos of browns on the Middle to draw some interest:

Welcome to BOTL from CO. Nice looking fish

 

[Wasatch_B]

And what he isn't telling you guys is this is about 30 minutes from where he lives!!!!!

This is true and I am very grateful!

When I moved here from Southwest Washington a handful of years ago, I feared
that there wouldn't be any rivers close by. I practically lived on the East Fork of the Lewis River during the fishery's golden
years. Steelheading, salmon fishing, and trout fishing on a stretch that was a 3 minute walk from my grandparents' home.

I am in a good place when I am fishing a river, enjoying a cigar, and battling the elements.
