Fished with a friend above the Legacy Bridge today. It was my first time fishing this river ever....why did I wait so long (only been in UT < 2yrs) ?!!!! I hooked 8 trout, landed 5 of them up to about 13-14 inches. Friend caught at least that many. We were using San Juan worms as the point fly, but most trout were caught on the midge nymph droppers. I don't know the flies, but they were grey with some flashback, about size 20-22. Also used a tiny black and white midge with some flash, approx size 22. Broke in my new 5wt G.Loomis Streamdance GLX today...what a great rod! First time using flies below sz 18, first time fishing 6x tippet. It was a good day for not getting on the river until 1 pm! Lower Provo was packed when I drove by around 12:30. Deer Creek was also quite busy for a Friday before end of workday!
