Deer Creek/Provo River

[HOOSIER]

I decided to try a little shore fishing at Deer Creek on Saturday. There was more ice than I expected and I only found one spot with enough open water to fish from shore. I tried spinners, powerbait, and nightcrawlers and had no luck at all. I never have much luck shore fishing for trout at Deer Creek and Saturday was no different. I decided to leave with enough time so I could fish the campground on the lower Provo. I found a nice deep hole and started throwing a tube jig. I had a hit immediately but missed the fish. I got the feel for it and managed to catch a couple of nice browns from that hole and I missed a lot more. I move up river as it was getting dark and caught one rainbow. I probably should have just skipped Deer Creek and fished the river from the beginning. Anyway, it was a nice day and I didn't get skunked!!
