Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a great holiday. Thank you to those who have made this country free and protected us from enemies both foreign and domestic. I am thankful for this great nation and the ability to share with people my passion for fly fishing. Enjoy the day and Happy Holidays.

Utah Fishing and Hunting License App

Here is a screen shot of home screen. Its very easy to navigate.
There is a new Utah Fishing license app that you can download on iphones and androids. I will be doing a review of both of them on here. I have down loaded them and initially I'm impressed with the feel and look of the app. it has a really clean design i would just like it better if the back button, on my phone not the one on the app, worked to go back to the previous screen. I liked the fishing information and the license download and purchase options. 
I really enjoyed looking at the different types of fish. Game fish, non game fish, and protected categories.  The game fish has both a picture of a typical fish of the named species and also the state records of the fish. This is a very nice set up i just wish it showed a few more pictures of the fish. 
The display of the name and then a picture of the fish followed by the angling record. 
On the hunting tab it has a bit more to go over. the greatest thing about this is the Walk-in Access finder and the guide books. The tricky part about this is that the app does have licenses but you'll still have to have your tags for large game and special draws. In both the Fishing and Hunting app if you choose the walk-in access it will take you to another site. I would like it better if it was all in app but this is a great improvement to not having an app for either hunting or fishing and being able to have your license on your phone instead of always putting it in a pocket and forgetting which one.

Been away for a while

I've been away for awhile and the fishing here is still great. I'm now on Pintrest posting flies and other fishing ideas. look for me @rasczack. There a lot of really great flies on there and I'm really impressed with the new materials that people are using for the flies. I just recently posted a fly that is being used in France. I am looking forward to making a few and seeing how they do here on the Provo and Weber rivers. Let me know how the fishing is doing out there. Remember if you don't have your line in the water you can't catch a fish.
