Got a couple hours to enjoy this warm weather today. Since I was already up in Park City I decide to go the upper Provo in the National Forest. I don't combat fish and doubt I could even catch an educated fish on the Provo further down anymore anyway. Weather was perfect, the threatening clouds in the distance never blew my way. Fishing wasn't the fastest probably didn't even break into double digits. Surprisingly only caught 2 brook trout and one was almost a foot. The other surprised was that I managed a grand slam - catching all 4 trout species. You got to pay attention to something when the fishing is slow. I don't think I've done that since several years back on the Yellowstone on the south slope of the Unitas. My first fish was a 19 inch brown which was also a bit of a surprised but the 6x leader (no tippet) handled it just fine. All fish where caught on a size 10 or 12 foam hopper.
