2010 New "Platinum" and "Elite" Members

B.R.A.'s newest members: Jake Erickson, Monroe Payne, Tyler Vanlehn, Daniel White, Katie Clement, Jamie White, Michael Bell, Chris Hoppie, Nathan Shaw, David Shaw, Ben Vanlehn and Shelbie Clement.

There are two different levels of membership in the B.R.A.

Platinum:Platinum members are those who have already reached elite status but have taken it a step further and chose to take the challenge of fishing and catching fish out of the official BRA boat (Powell Worthy).

Elite: Elite members are those who have he desire and passion for any kind of fishing and those that send pictures in to the BRA email at bassridersassociation@gmail.com

This is what Michael Bell sent in from the Provo River.

"I have a job that allows me to schedule appointments in favor of my addiction, fly-fishing for trout. I love the Provo and Weber rivers in the winter and other lakes and ponds nearby during the summer from my float tube. I love tying flies about as much and tie an hour a day every day at 6am. I'm a fly fishing junkie.

I would love to go after bass on a fly so I'm looking forward to making some pals there in southern Utah."

Another spectacular picture that Michael Bell sent in...

Jake Erickson, Monroe Payne, Tyler Vanlehn and Brian Clement all took off on a Friday afternoon for some good night fishing at Lake Powell. All together they caught over 120 stripers, it was an unbelievable night...caught at the dam on anchovies!

Chris Hoppie with a huge toad, it really is a largemouth bass. Chris has caught other bass and trout in Powell Worthy but this is the only picture he had to send in to the B.R.A.

The striper to the right that David is holding was close to 5 lbs.

Dan White has caught a couple largemouth bass on Powell Worthy but he sent us his first catfish caught at Lake Powell.

Monroe Payne, a dedicated angler with a lot of memories in Powell Worthy, caught this nice 4 lb. largemouth bass at Quail Creek with a bright yellow tube in the summer of 2008.

Monroe Payne with his first bass of the 2010 season caught in March.

Tyler Vanlehn with his first bass as well in March of 2010. The three of us went out early one morning at caught ten within a couple hours using the drop shot.

Shelbie Clement and Brian with their first fish caught right after he proposed to marry her. Thanks to her and all the other wives out there that let us men live the dream and fish...

Shelbie is a dedicated platinum member and has helped a lot with setting up the B.R.A. blog, which will soon be a website.
