A lake with no half drunk beachards ripping around blaring rap music on jet skis. Peace, quiet, fish and motorcycles. Another fine Rojo cinematic spectacle. My day is complete.
FANTASTIC! Beautiful lake. Unspoiled, unpopulated areas are the best for fishing, can't beat that mix up, KLR's and Fishing! You have inspired me to do a fishing trip off my bike...
When you getting a dual sport?! Gunner says you won't give up your street bike, I bet him I could change your mind. Just think about it Shifty...you could ride to any water you want and fish your life away. Buy a dual sport and let's go fishing.
It's an awesome area. Definitely my favorite corner of the state. The fishing is unbeatable and there's plenty of space to find your own area to be alone.
That's what dual sports were designed for. Get you to the backcountry lakes and streams and rip some lips. Nothing like fly fishing for some hungry fish. Glad I could help out. Enjoy the bike and hopefully you fall in love with flyfishing.
I know everyone doesn't enjoy fishing but I love it. Such a great way to relax, be alone, soak it all in, unwind and download the brain after a crappy week of work. Plus, riding the bike there and back is another bonus.
You'd love it up there. You'd probably faint and dream of your good ol guiding days. There's just something about being up in the backcountry. I was born in the wrong century.
Without a doubt! Just watching the trail to the lake brought back memories of days guiding. Then to see a beautiful high mountain lake and gentle breeze blowing from the mountains in the background. I was in heaven. You are a lucky man to have such awesomeness within a short ride from home.
Congrats! Looks like you are excelling in the art of fly fishing. I used to go with my uncle who was a master at fly fishing. All that I could ever catch were tree limbs. BTW he always used a plain or royal coachman with a grey hackle as a drop fly. I rode the Mirror Lake highway a couple of weeks ago...It is a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Doc! Been fly fishing since I was 11 when my dad taught me how to flick a fly. First fish I ever caught fly fishing was a cutthroat about 5" long....I was hooked after that. Now almost 20 years later I'm still at it. It's a great way for me to unwind my brain from work.
Really like your vids! I'm thinking about getting a KLR650.. I teach and guide fly fishing and I love hiking and bikes all I need to do is put them all together now...lol...
+MrRojoneck sounds good! I'm riding from Vegas back to Salt lake Saturday and Sunday taking whatever back roads I can find. Hopefully cruising around st. George with everide if I can get ahold of him and he feels better. Then north from there. Would love some company.
Have you been on any of the trails up in the Uinta's? This was my first time. An hour from home and you're fishing on some beautiful backcountry water. I want to go back up to 157 (I think that's the one, or is it 252 that comes down on the east side of Tibble Fork? Where we say by the bridge an river). We should call it "Moose Trail". That ride was freaking awesome!
***** I rode the KLR up to the Uintas last year and fished boulder creek just below big elk lake. Lots of tiny little brook trout. No keepers, but fun to catch. Yea, we need to head back AF canyon again. We were on 252 when we saw momma and baby moose. 252 continues across the pavement and then up to where I turfed it on that switch back, and then up to the ridgeline intersection of 252, 157 and 041. It's trail 041 that drops down that steep rutted stuff to the east end of Tibble fork where we crossed the bridge and took a break.
Ok just double checking all the trail numbers to make sure I get this burned into my mind. Trail 252 meets up at the intersection where we met all the KTM's that told us we were stupid if we went right (041?). We then went right against their counsel and had the most epic dual sport adventure ride ever! Must. Go. Back.
***** 252 is the moose trail that crosses the pavement and head up to the intersection of trail 157, 252, and 041. That's where all the mountain biker ladies rode past while we were taking a break. We dropped down 041 to where the KTM guys were, and took a right on 173 witch took us over to 040 and down to the east end of Tibble and across the bridge. Looks like eveRide and DuhFactor went back up to grab some more footage and ran into the same moose and mooselet, in the same place.
+Jim Oblad Sure is. Someone corrected me as soon as I put this video up. I'd never caught Golden Trout until then. Awesome fish. Such a fun place to fish.
I definitely will be doing more videos up there his year. I love the Uintas, such a fun place to fish. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can ride back up there.
I'm giving up the river fly fishing. Skunked again yesterday then I watch this. Pushing two years and nothing on the still new fly rod, again. I think I'll be hitting the Uintas this year plenty of times now that I've got some good transportation under me.
What...how can that be?! A virgin fly rod for two years now. Where have you gone fly fishing? Rivers aren't too hard to figure out, small streams are almost easy. I vote, summer time you and I ride up to the Uinta's where a man can catch so many fish he could get bored. This video proves how aggressive the brooks are up there. As soon as the spinner hit the water I'd have a fish tugging on the line before I could flip the bar over on my spinning rod. Dry fly fishing is awesome up there too. Don't get rid of the rod and reel just yet.
Dude! just caught your ride in fly fish trip to the uintas. makes me wanna blow the dust off my 3wt and try that at a place I know down around Fish lake. supposedly nice tiger trout!! Thanks for the motivation.
very good video! Beautiful area. I do worry that your spot is attached to your bike and not you! I used to do that but then i got to thinking most times there's a wreck you leave your motorcycle and end up apart from it so if i ever get too hurt to get to my spot i would be out of luck. Just a thought :)
It is indeed a beautiful area. I've thought about the SPOT just like you have. I do carry the velcro strap with me while riding in case I go hiking on a trail or hike to the sweet fishing/hunting spot where I can't ride my bike to. I bought the SPOT mount just to try it out to see how I like it. It may or may not be a temporary/permanent addition to the bike. Knowing I have you pulling me to one side might just help make a decision down the road. Thanks for stopping by.
Lots of Cutthroats in Utah. Bonneville and Bear Lake Cutthroats are all native here. Brook Trout are my favorite trout to catch because of their beautiful colors and you only catch them in high alpine backcountry heavily forested areas, second favorite is Cutthroats. Very aggressive and fun to rip lips with flies.
I should've. Caught a whole pile of Brooks that were plenty big to cook on a stick over a fire. I will definitely be doing that next time I'm up there.
Take the "Murdock Basin" turnoff. Its a few miles before the Mirror Lake area. It's paved for a little bit then turns into dirt. A few miles later it turns into a nasty 4X4 trail with boulders and rocks everywhere. Not doable in a car, maybe an SUV (depending on the height), mostly a 4x4 truck or jeep trail. Easy on the bikes.
The fly rod is a 2 piece rod. I had it taken apart and placed it in a backpack and tied it down. Still trying to figure out a rod holder thingy/mod for the bike. Backpack works just fine.
Where did you go fishing? Even if you don't get it a bite, it's still fun being up in the mountains. Forgot your camera....that's perfect because now the fish in any story can be longer than it really was ;)

Riding and fishing..... it doesn't get any better than that. Great video. This is my new favorite one. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Utah and have been up to the Uintas twice. Great fishing and absolutely beautiful. Love it!

This is the video that convinced me to buy a dual sport AND take up fly fishing. Thank you sir!
That's what dual sports were designed for. Get you to the backcountry lakes and streams and rip some lips. Nothing like fly fishing for some hungry fish. Glad I could help out. Enjoy the bike and hopefully you fall in love with flyfishing.
Your love of fishing is great. Nice, peaceful, and relaxing I bet!
I know everyone doesn't enjoy fishing but I love it. Such a great way to relax, be alone, soak it all in, unwind and download the brain after a crappy week of work. Plus, riding the bike there and back is another bonus.
Just an FYI that first fish was a golden trout, I love that lake going up there next week, nice video!
........dah crap, you're right. Thanks for the correction.
Great video my friend. Dualsport riding, Adventure, Clear air, Fishing, Gorgeous scenery and even a fainting goat! Awesome!
You'd love it up there. You'd probably faint and dream of your good ol guiding days. There's just something about being up in the backcountry. I was born in the wrong century.

What a beautiful trip. Twisties, dirt roads, forests, and fish. Good times man. I need to find some riding buds near salt lake.
I live in West Jordan. How about you? Maybe we shall meet up and destroy some poor dirt trails together?!
+MrRojoneck sounds good! I'm riding from Vegas back to Salt lake Saturday and Sunday taking whatever back roads I can find. Hopefully cruising around st. George with everide if I can get ahold of him and he feels better. Then north from there. Would love some company.
Nice! Looks like another awesome day out on the KLR.
It doesn't get any better than that.

Looks like eveRide and DuhFactor went back up to grab some more footage and ran into the same moose and mooselet, in the same place.
Love the Uinta's !! Looks like you guys had a great trip.
The Uinta's are awesome as you know. It's my favorite corner of Utah.
fun video. used to be able to drive a 2wd in there win about 40 min. Hike up to the top to the west for better fishing
Great video! nice catches and the shots in the end was epic! I was out fishing yesterday…didn't catch anything, one of those days i guess lol
Thanks Samcro! Was a great day on the water. Sorry you didn't have such good luck out fishing. Hopefully next time you get your hands slimmy.
The first fish you caught was a golden trout. Echo lake is listed as one of the lakes with golden trout. Looks like great fun!
+Jim Oblad Sure is. Someone corrected me as soon as I put this video up. I'd never caught Golden Trout until then. Awesome fish. Such a fun place to fish.
Dude.... Your the fish wisper'r..... "Hey little fella..... wanna bite of my fly"???? WHAM!!! Impressive... and... without gloves even.....
Great video! You should definitely do more fishing vids in the Uintas.
I definitely will be doing more videos up there his year. I love the Uintas, such a fun place to fish. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can ride back up there.
Pretty sweet place to ride to and enjoy the day. Pretty jealous right now!
Awesome area to ride. I want to et back up there and find some more dirt roads to ride on...and of course take my fishing poles along :)

Dude!
just caught your ride in fly fish trip to the uintas. makes me wanna blow the dust off my 3wt and try that at a place I know down around Fish lake. supposedly nice tiger trout!! Thanks for the motivation.
Blow the dust off and get down there. Flick a fly around and rip some lips. I love me some fly fishing!
fun video. used to be able to drive a 2wd in there win about 40 min.

:) hope to see more video's , i am kind of a KLR fan. Although i ride a DRZ i still like the big KLR pack mules :D
What did you film with? And how'd you fish the dry fly? Just let it sit on top of the water or slowly strip line in?
I like this video!
I didn't know you has cutthroats there. I'll be driving through Utah in a couple of weeks. By the way, 40 degrees is not cold. :) ride safe!
Lots of Cutthroats in Utah. Bonneville and Bear Lake Cutthroats are all native here. Brook Trout are my favorite trout to catch because of their beautiful colors and you only catch them in high alpine backcountry heavily forested areas, second favorite is Cutthroats.

Great video just remember to wet your hands before handling trout. Tight lines!
Especially goldies
did you keep any of them and have a good lunch there by the lake?
I should've. Caught a whole pile of Brooks that were plenty big to cook on a stick over a fire. I will definitely be doing that next time I'm up there.
Dud the first one is a Golden!
+CrazyFisher7755 Exactly what I was thinking
Awesome man
Which area did you go thru to get up there as well how bad are the dirt roads this year?
Take the "Murdock Basin" turnoff. Its a few miles before the Mirror Lake area. It's paved for a little bit then turns into dirt. A few miles later it turns into a nasty 4X4 trail with boulders and rocks everywhere. Not doable in a car, maybe an SUV (depending on the height), mostly a 4x4 truck or jeep trail. Easy on the bikes.
I saw you up this summer!
You did? Where?
along that road i was fishing for browns in that video hahah
How did you pack your fishing rod on your bike?
The fly rod is a 2 piece rod. I had it taken apart and placed it in a backpack and tied it down. Still trying to figure out a rod holder thingy/mod for the bike. Backpack works just fine.
Make a nice aquarium fish :-)
I just went fishing, didn't even get a bite. But got to see nice country, forgot to bring my camera.
Where did you go fishing? Even if you don't get it a bite, it's still fun being up in the mountains. Forgot your camera....that's perfect because now the fish in any story can be longer than it really was ;)
Duh can ride his monster 2-stroke, around in the sand-box, all he wants ...
I'm gonna jump on my Wee-Strom and hang with you guys.
¡Vaminos! Let's go!
*****
Giddy-UP, VATO !!
KLRs and FISHING!
What more and a man ask for?! Gasoline and fish slim.
3'40...the reason I bought a TW200 !! Low!
#publiclandsproud
HAHA HEY NO PARKING
I guess a nice person would've helped him pick it up instead of make fun and keep driving. I'm a terrible human being.
:)
Boomerang would've loved it!
OMG.....HELLZ Si '
