Video from Falcon’s Ledge: Utah Trout Tries To Get Away

Our friends at Orvis-Endorsed Fly-Fishing Lodge Falcon’s Ledge sent this video our way. Bryan Eldredge and Spencer Higa spent the day fishing a Utah stream during a stonefly hatch. This particular fish spit the hook, but that didn’t stop Spencer from landing it!

Check out the video above, and click here for the full story.
