Upper Canyon Outfitters had one of its most successful seasons in years!  The summer season began with plenty of rain in June, making for a green and rewarding fishing season through September.  Lots of exciting days fishing on the Ruby with many a tight line fighting large Rainbow and Brown Trout. Last summer marked 100 years since my grandfather homesteaded in the Ruby Valley and of course that called for a party. The horseback rides and views from the mountain tops were inspiring to say the least with the country side full of blossoming flowers and flourishing greenery for the abundant wildlife in the Ruby Valley. 

We had a tremendous hunting season, things started a bit slow, but it soon turned out to be one of our best seasons ever. Because of the wet summer many elk were able to avoid detection by staying in the deep timber where some of the greenest clover grew, making for a difficult archery season.  However, even with the tough conditions our hunters were able to harvest those elusive elk.  Rifle season was as successful.  The UCO staff put in extra scouting hours to locate the hot hunting locations, which I knew paid off nicely within the first week of rifle season when all of our guided hunters had prospects at elk and things never slowed down.  2010 was an incredible year.
