Lower Provo 04-05

Couldn't have asked for nicer weather. Was a bit crowded as usual, but plenty of feeding fish. Couldn't get dialed in on what they were eating, but they took at many different nymphs and a few dry's. The water was gin clear, and with so much sun the fish were very easy to see. In the shallow water I got to watch the nymphs drift into the fish's mouthes, no indicator required. Caught a nice mix of rainbows and browns, biggest measured 16".





And on Friday my girlfriend decided after watching from the shore long enough that she wanted to start fly fishing. Got her setup with gear and within about 40 minutes of wetting a line she had her first trout, a nice little bow.

There was a crazy hatch right before dark so we started fishing dry's, and we must have caught about 30 this size in a little over an hour.

Are you in the canyon or in town. Looks like pretty wide section. ??

[LOAH]

Very nice. That section of the canyon has been treating people pretty well over the past few days, so I've heard. Catching a bunch of fish like that has to feel good. Way to go with getting the girlfriend onto some fish too.

Welcome to the site.

Nice job! Looks like you had a blast!

A lot of times there is a "crazy hatch" right before dark on the lower. Most people leave before it happens though so good thing you stuck around.

That's great your girlfriend got into some good action instead of fishing on a slow day. Nice looking fish, congrats!

That first bow is a nice size for the Provo. Looks fat compared to the torpedo browns. Those browns will fatten up this spring.

Wait until the first couple of days of may, right before the flows get ramped up, tie 2 sow bugs on, and hang on. The absolute best week of fishing on the lower provo, if you hit it just right.

yeah its been outstanding there for me for the past 6 weeks or so. Even in the wind snow and cold the fish have been feeding like crazy. If May's even better I'm gonna have to quit my job to get more time on the water
