Didn’t have work today so I thought I’d take advantage and go fish my favorite place, the middle provo. I also like sleeping so I didn’t get up to the river until about 1.
The action was great. I walked down from where I parked a ways and started fishing. The first run yielded 3 small browns using a silver rooster tail 1/8oz. I moved up the river and kept catching small browns everywhere.
After about 2 hours I had 10 or so small browns, I hadn’t even got a 10inch trout yet but that was about to change. I came up to a real nice fast section with a submerged boulder creating some nice white water that emptied into a narrower pool.
Using my very trusty #3 silver blue fox on my first cast I hooked into my first “trophy” brown. This guy hit hard and fast and took me down river. He got tangled into a boulder in some deep fast water and I thought he was stuck for sure. After some walking back and forth and climbing over some rocks and through trees I was able to get near where he was and got him out. After he got out he was very tired and it wasnt too much trouble to get him in. The guy measured 21" and I was pumped! My biggest one yet. I couldn’t get a picture because I was taken too far away from by backpack with my gear in it unfortunately and there was no way I was getting the fish safely to where my gear was.
I kept fishing until 8pm and ended up with about 30 browns in all. Most of them being pretty small but I did catch a hand few inbetween 10-14 inches. I did get a picture of the 2nd largest fish of the day. Overall it was a good day with lots of fish caught, it’s got me excited for more.
