It may not sound like much in comparison to Steve Wozniak‘s 1,000 species of fish, but just try catching 24 different fish on fly, in in one state, and (mostly) from a kick-boat. Brett Prettyman tells the story of Brent Stout, who reached his long-awaited goal on September 18.
“When the striper hit his wiggle bug fly pattern about 6:40 p.m. on Sept. 18, Stout achieved a goal he set more than seven years ago: to catch two dozen sport fish from Utah waters. That would have been impressive enough, but Stout was coming from the die-hard world of fly fishing and figured it would be more impressive to land them all on a fly rod.” In the Salt Lake Tribune.
